A Day for Myself

I deliberately told the girl that normally works on Friday not to come today.  I needed a day to do what I wanted to do without thinking up something for another person to do.   So I slept a full night, got up at 8:30 and drank coffee, read the paper, checked the computer and now it is 10:21 and I am ready to start the day and do nothing or something.  My choice!

I like that kind of day and I am ready for it.

This picture was made at my 70th birthday party when the kids had it at RoseBed Inn.   It was a fun night and seems like years ago.  Which it was!    I am still queen of my own destiny and proud of it.   When I go to nursing home to visit, I think God that I am am still capable of making my own decisions and I am grateful for every day that I am allowed to live in this way.  To me, that alternate is not living--it is surviving!
