How the destruction of thirty years of compulsive writing changed my life.

I'm editing everything in my portfolio—stories first, with hopes of compiling them into a book.
Enjoying Life
For (old people)!


Did I write that?

I believe that a person who has come to terms with the passing of time will have no problem with my using that expression.

Time awarded me permission to be myself. I have nothing to hide anymore. There is no need to be anyone else. I can still learn. Though I am a work in progress, I appreciate who I am at this very moment.

I am grateful for every knock the school of hard knocks has used to form me into what I am right now!

Look at all I have seen! Despite what life has thrown at me, here I am very much alive! That is an accomplishment worth appreciating.

Appreciation gives the ability to experience JOY!

What is JOY?

Putting my feet over the edge of my bed, finding my slippers, and beginning another day.

I can still breathe in and out. What a satisfying thing!

I have some difficulty chewing, so I've had to adjust how I eat, but I still love to eat. Things still taste good and give me the comfort of a full belly.

Nothing like a hot cup of fragrant French roast coffee, I love inhaling the steam as I take a sip. The flavor engulfs my senses.

I look across the breakfast table at someone I love. She loves me back without measuring me or trying to pound me into the place in the puzzle where she thinks I should fit.

I feel like I fit right where I am. I belong, she belongs, and we belong together. Enjoying Life.


Note: I hope you don't have to grow old to experience JOY!
