Today's happiness: Freedom. No, not the Thomas Jefferson/God Bless America variety, though that makes me happy, too. I'm talking about being the mistress of my own ship, being able to do pretty much do whatever I want, whenever I want.
My oldest friend is now in the air, winging her way here from LA. She sent m a text saying she was having the worst day ever -- her new boss fired her AND her bra fell apart at the airport. So, instead of meeting her at the hotel tomorrow, I'm on the phone right now, hiring a car to get me there tonight. I'll present her with the nicest bra one can buy at 8:00 on Friday night. (Yes, CVS does have everything!)
Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed by the responsibility of being my own woman, of handling everything by myself all the time. Right now, I want to take a moment to enjoy the flipside. I can race out to the airport Hyatt without worrying about anything except a little extra kibble for the cats.
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.
The Gal to the rescue! I hope this is the beginning of a fabulous weekend.
