Aw, I will have a look. I struggle using my old sad computer so I haven't kept up with email as I once did. I had so many photos of you all in the 50s and early 60s that I still mourn though they were stolen 30 years ago.

Hah! I still have some...and some old Pyrex bowls, too. :-)

Wow, this feels exactly like the sort of advice I need. I so appreciate your taking the time to offer it to me. I liked the apartment I looked at a couple days ago, except that it was on the second floor. But the ground floor people are clearly settled in for good, the way they had their patios arranged, and one group of three even had floral plantings between them that they'd clearly added. I saw a couple of them talking with each other as I crawled past. But that tells me at least they like living there?

It's a pleasant fantasy, to be sure.

People were warned that viewing the country like a private business would be a mistake. And he's so terrible at business, anyway. However, they don't listen, don't understand when they do, and the Rs are just using him for their own gain, so here we are.

All nows are now, silly, but I do like what Daniel Amos expressed regarding the spiritual path. :-) Circles, too, you know. That is, waves of serendipity spreading out from a center point. From every aspect, every other aspect looks a little bit different. It's okay that I am still and again that grubby little girl in that messy girl room. Because, she was me now, as well. I am all the ages I have been, and will be.
