Watching this much younger woman on YouTube, probably 40 years younger than me, I felt as if a neon flashlight bulb was turned on inside my brain and my mind. Even at 77 there’s always so much room for improvement. I may say probably that’s what keeps me going, and makes me think and sometimes feel as if I’m mid thirties. Kid you not. I selfie that picture just a few minutes ago today after coming back from my Sunday walk in highly humid Central Florida. Another day in Paradise. Those paintings in the background are my attempt to paint abstract art. I have many many more all in display in my space. Definitely not curating any of them. They stay put.
Oh yes, this blog is all about curating, meaning for me, eliminating what doesn’t fit or suit me and my lifestyle anymore. This is already feeling like a fun and endless project. Let’s do this!
Best place to start is my mentality. Sometimes this “little old lady” self-talk is a downer and this definitely needs to go. Need to find the right phrase to substitute for that issue. Next one, my closet. Oh my goodness! I take stuff out all the time. Meaning to say, I bring stuff in all the time. It’s a revolving door in that area of my life. It brings me so much joy to change and update my look. I love 100% cotton sundresses. I feel free and flowing with the wind. When there’s some breeze. Also, some sandals with a kitten heel. Era of stilettos is over. I’m on the preppy side of style and shorter than usual skirts or dresses. I’m so petite. Need to show more flesh. Neck lines are getting lower and hems are getting shorter. C’est la vie!
I’m adding a new exercise to the routine ones I do while coffee is percolating. It’s called “dead bug.” Supposedly this one will help to flatten my stomach area more. Nothing worse than being old and having a non-flat belly area. If you know what I mean. It’s ok if you don’t have the foggiest idea of what I mean.
By now I hope you get the drift. I am on a curating roll. Things are changing at my digs. All fun. Oh yes, continuing my work on the project of my life. My great American Novel. I decided to enjoy the process come what it may. No hurry for anything at this stage in my beautiful life.
My dear ones, go eat the cake and buy the shoes. In other words enjoy your amazing life. Only one we got. And the clock is ticking.
Grateful, always, for all my blessings.
Be blessed. Hugs,
