David... I'm glad you're breathing!

Ah sweet Goofy friend, your day is challenging... and, as always, there you will be tomorrow... looking back on today .... when, perhaps... much like I might be doing.....
You'll be hanging on to the positives of today

My 3rd son didn't get his driver's license until he was

From where I sit, I see my siamese grooming himself. He's outside my patio door sitting on a sunlit cushion... I love how he closes his eyes with his face towards the sun... cats just seem to know how it pleases us humans to see them enjoy simple pleasures!

Oh... and now he's at my lap.... I must have been daydreaming for a bit...

Today is a good day.

Wasn't Elizabeth Taylor just the most beautiful young lady.... I think she walked a path very few could ever understand ... she was a pioneer... testing the waters and continually re-inventing herself...

I'm not so sure whether that was a bad thing or a good thing...

I guess what remains important.... as always... for the most part, was she happy?

I am very afraid for the people of Japan. I wish the whole world would just "be as one" and help each other..... sigh....

enough with the thoughts... its a good day!
let the sunshine in

back to finish sentence above... youngest son was 25 when he finally got his license (his g-friend bought him lessons!!).... transit is pretty good here.

Did Scott get his license?

Lucky, lucky me. I have Otto (my daughter's paralyzed mini-dachsund) from now until Tuesday. She, son-in-law, and granddoody are taking a much needed visit/vacation to their friends in Madison. I'm glad because both of them (mommy and daddy) are having rough patches emotionally and physically. Sigh.

Also trying to figure out why the heck my recent annual statement from Social Security shows my estimated future payouts have gone DOWN since last year. WTH? Shouldn't SS retirement benefits go up each year that you work?

I did manage to remind myself of a couple of small blessings in my life. Gotta keep doing that every day lest me go crazy.

Oooh, just watched a flock of geese go very low over my house! So beautiful. I wanna be a canadian goose too.

Scott got his license
he is so excited LOLOLOL

(so is his mother) LOLOL

Yay!! Good for him!!

Great news about Scott!! It will change everyone's lives...yay and yay!
I think I told you that I was 27 when I learned to drive.

Doody, I don't understand about the benefits either..going to ask Mr.Alffe.

Addy I really liked what you said about Eliz.Taylor...was she happy is the most important thing. We all have to live with the choices we make..some more life changing than others.

I have such admiration for the people in Japan who had no choice at all in what they are living with.

I am hoping to have lunch with Barbo today...I really have cabin fever!!!

Spring, wherefore art thou????
