FROM WHERE I SIT

  

I stopped coloring my hair when I was 63. Having white hair is really cool. It goes with every color. I used to be a red head and had to avoid red, purple and pink in my clothing. Now all colors are mine!

This is what I see directly across from me. That's where I used to sit before I got my BIG RED CHAIR.  I've accepted there will always be baskets of things to do in my home. I'm a writer, quilter, painter, crafter....you get the idea. There's no difference in me now than when I was a child. I've simply had time to gain experience and learn how to do things well.

Although I do have guests for dinner at times, this table is used more often to display things I like. It held both a menorah and a creche in December.  

I love the wall tree. (I have a thing for trees!) It's made of latex pieces that will peel off . 

Yup. I am a creative. I tend to be introspective, so that corner is my "me only" spot. In my dreams I always had a greenhouse and an office/den/library. I bring my dreams into miniature reality here.

I don't see "old" when I look around the room. What I see is "single" and "happy".  There isn't enough time in one lifetime to do all I would like to do. What's nice is there is no rush. I'm happy with what I have accomplished thus far and I'm not quite seventy yet, so there's a good chance I'll have time to do a lot more!
