On Turning 70

A British friend and I were talking about how we are doing as we approach 70.

 My 70th year will occur in late fall.  Until then, I am making some changes.  Back to my short hair cut.  The fling of a longer bob was fun, but this is easier.

I want to get out more to see friends so that means more evening gatherings.  Enjoying one's own good company can be overdone.  I have taken it to the 9s this past year.  

All in all, I think I am doing ok.  Haven't found my life's passion, which is a bit of a disappointment, and may be a problem,  but I guess, that all comes in good order.  Or doesn't.  

I think kindness and compassion are so important and I hope I am doing well on that.  I could do to give less opinions, but they only really matter to me in the long run.  We all have to find our way.  

I try to do that better with my children, but my scorecard with one of them is no better than a "C." It is my intention to raise that this year. I wonder if they will notice.

Finally, this may be the largest area of growth.  It took me until recently to realize I prefer living on my own, that is no roommate, no marriage. A boyfriend would be nice but I don't see it happening in this remote area.

Yesterday, I had a psychic reading. The psychic correctly identified all the members of my family by name.  Mentioned a friend to be wary of.  I think I suspected that one some.  She told me I need to live by the ocean.  She suggested the Florida area.  Not sure I would to live there as summers are unbearable.  I like being familiar, if only when I am in town or in the grocery store.  

The psychic told me some wonderful news. I will share that later in the year.  

When I stopped by a cafe to pick up my lunch order, a friend was sitting at the bar.  It was delightful to lunch with her for a bit.  I would lose things like that if I relocate. And, then, there is the huge distance from my children.  I want to summer in Maine and that would be nearly a 30 hour road trip.  

Lots to ponder in my 70th year.  Lots to live.
