Translated, Age with Action.....
The Trunk = standards
The leaves =
expression
The Roots=
emotions
I don't want to
grow old (nasty word, but fine for antiques), but I don't want to grow
young either!
My desire is to
add action to my life, and to diminish complaint.
Let the
branches flourish as my roots grow stronger (soon into the ground). I hope to
leave something behind which will blossom into a beautiful tree for someone
still growing branches.
There is a
sense of urgency in just about all I do these days. A feeling of being in hard
drive serves me well.
In a race one
runs to the finish line, n'est-ce pas?
Everything
matters-----like wanting to taste all that is being offered in a buffet.
There are a few
health and dental items that remind me to hasten! I have not been left free of
such conditions.
I wonder how
all of you are handling this passage.
There are days
when a deep depression overcomes me, and I don't want to let it go, even if I
say I do!
The reality of
a final departure clamps down on my brain, and I quiver. Although this is not
satisfying, it brings in a close focus which serves me the following day!
I am currently
learning some Mandarin for fun and because it is a language I have not embarked
upon earlier. Japanese was a
former love of mine, but I casually dismissed Mandarin.
My husband
& I are looking forward to a winter trip to Florida, a treat from David's
son and his wife.
The wife's
mother-in-law plans to be joining us as well. We have three small grandchildren
in that branch of the family.
The fourth
granddaughter, from another daughter will not be making an appearance.
It seems to be
of major importance to have something really special to look forward at
this time of life.
I know I cannot
be alone in this feeling.
There are
always a few new authors to take seriously. I take literature seriously---like
living a second life!
Losing friends
who have been a part of my life for so many years does not go down easily.
Making new
ones, however, does!
