New
beginnings for 2005!
Today is a
New Beginning Day! It’s 2005 and we are lucky to be
alive! Are you filled with New Year’s resolutions?
Or are the resolutions like Christmas tree ornaments,
something to be packed up for a year or something to be
broken? Or are they as old fashioned as Betty Boop? The
arrival of the New Year is a wonderful opportunity for
self-improvement, renewal, or adventure for what the
unknown will reveal to us one day at a time.
My Christmas
was wonderful; it even included a beautify baby and made
everything great! I got to see 34 of my children - all
except one! One of them got engaged, one had to go to
Chile to be the best man in a wedding, another new baby
is due shortly, and two new girlfriends were our guests.
It was all so exciting and I have had “The
Vapors” for a few days ever since because of all the
excitement and I’ll survive the “Vapors”
(which is exactly what that implies - nothing, probably
exhaustion.) It’s my favorite time of year.
However, the
sheet of ice that had blanketed Holly Springs froze my
back door shut and the front door had about three inches
of slick ice on the porch and steps. When I finally got
out, my car slid sideways down the driveway, then did the
same again at Big Star’s parking lot by sliding down
the hill but ended up heading the right direction. Then
my grandson, Mike, came to chauffeur me around and I was
rescued.
Another year
means I’m a year older, that’s good considering
the alternative! It means that I don’t have a set
bedtime, or why thaw when you can eat out, or your
secrets are safe with me because I can’t remember
them, and my old clothes are back in style.
Old age
means: decaffeinated cappuccino (yummy)
Paul Newman is my contemporary
Binge, if I want it
Bell-Bottoms are gone for good
Saving the bone to make soup
Saving sacks, I might need them
The collected works of Cary Grant
Something to
ponder is Harry Truman was first elected to the Senate at
age 50. Great bonuses come at the end of your life, such
as knowing your grandchildren and when they have
children, your great-grandchildren, enjoying new and old
friends, exciting adventures, (even if it’s watching
a great television show). It’s amazing how times
have changed. We used to eat dinner at home and go out to
a movie. Now, we go out to dinner and come home for a
movie or taking a trip to the uttermost parts of the
earth or sometimes little trips around home. Marvel at
the wonder that comes with each new day.
They say you
are as old as you feel, so feel young, think young. Take
care of yourself, eat right, sleep enough, and be
absolutely sure that you take your selenium every day. It
has been discovered that everybody who has cancer has no
selenium in his system. Selenium is a cancer preventive
and actually is a poison that destroys cancer cells.
Selenium won’t cure cancer if you have it but take
it before you have cancer so you won’t get it.
Doctors are experts at medicine but seldom study diet.
Try it; you’ll be glad you did.
On this
note, have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
