I've had a busy three days, but good busy. Seeing friends, shopping and having dinner with my daughter-in-law, lunch with my younger daughter. My Buddhist study group met Saturday morning, and we are so fond of each other at this point, that it's like a family reunion. I am thankful to have so many connections to people and the opportunity to be with them. Today will be more about errands and laundry, but hey, those days are good, too. It is supposed to be warming up, the the sunniness early is a sign they the forecasters might be right. Labor Day feels like the last hurrah before fall and holidays. Last chance to be in summer mode. Summer mode for me is very little routine, no classes and commitments, a bit of travel, and catching up with my reading.
In fact, I'm so caught up with my reading I'm a bit sick of it. That means I have to occupy myself in other, hopefully more useful ways. My older daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter are coming this Friday, and that is a favorite way to use my time - adoring the grandchild, which, as you know, is an active and full time task. And I'm the gal to do it.
I will turn 65 when they're here, and I don't exactly know what that means yet, except for Medicare (as if I really understand that), but I'm tiptoeing my way into the other side of the sixties, and we'll see if the water is warm and nice, or a bit chilly. I have great trouble believing I'm this old, though there are plenty of signs, the saggy skin, the wrinkles, the wobbly knees, the hip and sciatica. But I don't quite get it. I never really expected to get to this age - so now, what do I do? The journey continues, and undoubtedly will be full of surprises. One day at a time.
