Wise words

This is a picture of me

In Venice, Italy.

Twelve years ago.

Younger,

thinner,

and In love

with my guy.

.............

We only spend part of the

week together, because

I have a job...80 miles away.

We just spent a whole month together,

for the first time...in 13 years.

It was heaven.

...........

Growing together.

I want Venice

and Maui

and love

to live inside

of me

every moment

of 

everyday.

I found this,
thoughts of life and death here....

I find it fascinating to listen to older women.

In 85 years....you have years of perspective.

And when death is right around the corner

there is a light...or enlightenment 

into the world of the living,

or for some

barely living and just surviving.

Thoughts on life and death

If I had my life to live over again

Nadine Stair  85 years young

I’d dare to make more mistakes next time.  

I’d relax.

I would limber up.

I would be sillier than I have been on this trip.

I would take fewer things seriously.  

I would take more chances.

I would take more trips.

I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.

I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I am one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day.

Oh, I’ve had moments and If I had it to do over again, I’d have more of them.  In fact, I’d try to have 

nothing else.  Just moments.  One after another instead of living so many years ahead of each day.  I’ve 

been one of those people who never go anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat

and a parachute.  If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that

way later in the fall.  I would go to more dances.  I would rider more merry-go-rounds.  

I would pick more daisies.
