What keeps me going and what I try and share is how we move to "the next point of light". There is so much light, but sometimes it is hard to see it. If I can find the next point of light, I move to it and then to the next. Meryl was wonderful in It's Complicated and I will buy that DVD as soon as it comes out, watch it and laugh and laugh and laugh. Happy New Year. Susan, right on!

And to learn stressed backwards is desserts. Most of all, grateful my memory hasn’t disappeared at 75 :-) Lots of interesting stuff there.

Little did I know that one day I would be grateful for the realization that life was not all about me. My family and my friends allow me to celebrate every day with purpose and commitment and for that, I am "Flipping Grateful to be Alive." PS The judges made a mistake. I didn't win, but I was really good. ?

It's so easy to focus on the negative, the problems, the challenges in life. Even more so, I think, as we age. I don't think we can ever get too many reminders to be grateful for being alive.
