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.
Today’s happiness: I'm going to Hollywood! If I had a bucket list, going to the TCM Film Festival would be on it. And in 2019, I'll be joining "My Tribe" in Hollywood for a wallow of classic films. As soon as the announcement was made, I booked a room* for just $88/night. I'm using my AA miles to get to and fro. I'm going to spend a long weekend hanging out with classic movie fans!
*A studio apartment through Airbnb. If I choose to, I can cook and save myself a little more money.
Each day in August you are to
post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it

great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in
our lives, our communities, and the world.
Today’s happiness: The kindness of strangers. As I was unhappily hauling my fat ass up the steep stairs to the train, a woman on the way down passed me.
"I have a crush on your haircut," she said. "I want your hair."
"Thanks." I went on up to the platform. She headed down onto the street. We will never see each other again. But she made me happy.
