These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Saturday 9 -- Dying to Know
1. What do you believe happens when we die? We all go to Heaven.
2. Do you consider yourself religious? I prefer "spiritual."
3. Do you believe in ghosts? No.
4. Do you believe that people live on other planets? Logically, yes. I mean, isn't it arrogant to believe we are the only intelligent life in the universe? But emotionally, no.
5. Have you ever seen something abnormal? "Abnormal?" God, yes! Why just this week I flew from Miami to Key West with a woman who wore a permanent black eye patch, bragged about the new Tiffany tennis bracelet she was wearing, and carried a purse that was filled with nothing but Marlboro Lights. But "supernatural?" No.
6. Do you believe in reincarnation? No.
7. Have you ever witnessed a miracle? No.
8. Is there a person living or dead that influences your philosophies? Jesus.
9. Is there a work of fiction that closely matches your spiritual beliefs? No. Maybe the The Bible, in that I believe in its truth emotionally but not on a literal level.

ReplyDeleteThe Marlboro Lights cracked me up! Happy SAturday...
ReplyDelete# 5 made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteThat would fit the definition of "absnormal," all right. :-)
ReplyDelete#5 made me laugh out loud!! Loved it!!
ReplyDeleteThat airline passenger was very strange. Did she ask for a light?
ReplyDeleteI could line up almost word for word with most of these answers. I also prefer "spiritual" to religious (bah! Too stuffy!) and "believing in the truth of the Bible emotionally" is the perfect answer.
loved your answer about life on other planet ;)
