Today I turned 63. I think of it as another brownie point recieved. The world seem brighter with each passing year. With each passing year, I let go of some responsibility. The ease that comes is a welcome relief.

Today, Mike and I will be going out for a late lunch. We went to Denny's a week ago, and I realized we had not been out for more than 18 months. That is too long sticking to the daily grind.

I have decided that this next year calls for a much lighter attitude, and hopefully the coming year will bring happier days to me and mine. i want to laugh, play, and in general look and find the brighter side of life.

So my plan this next year, is to have less planing, and more spontaneity. :lofl:
 

Ina; I thought you had vanished!
very happy birthday to you; and here's to many more, with lots of spontaneity!

Happy Birthday Ina! Hope you enjoy a wonderful day with your hubby! I absolutely love your decision to break free from the daily routine, and bring some more light-hearted fun into your life. You so well deserve it! :glitter-heart:

Happy Birthday, Ina!!!
You're still a youngster in my eyes, the very best years of your life still ahead of you!!! Have fun, enjoy life!

:eek:nthego:
 
I was really surprised at all the birthday wishes I received. I am so grateful for all the friends that I have made. The friendships I have made this year have shown me the findness of my fellowman.

Sunday is a day of rest, so I'm gonna do just that. It is a good day to visit my diary, and bring it up to date. I have never kepted a diary before, so this will be a welcome outlet. I have sat down, and written of my thoughts before, but they always seemed to get lost, and I would forget about the things I put on paper. This I can come back to.

Yesterday my neighborhood had it's first community civic meeting. Our group has started off with about 1/3 of the homes in our small bit of paradise. The post office lists 90 homes in our community. We have never had anykind of organization, and we are attached to no town or city. But, the city and a town surround us. Each family has anywhere from 5 acers to 30. We have private wells and septic systems, and only recently have we contracted a trash service. There is only one road into or out of the area. I got to name our neighborhood. It is to be Drysdale's Forrest Acers.

Most of our families have been here for more than 30 years, and some have been here for generations. My family has been here since the mid 80's. We live in a very old 2000 sq log cabin.

I am to be treasurer. Each of us has promised to bring whatever occupational talents we have to benefit our community. We even have a policeman, lawyer, and a least four reverends. So yesterday's meeting showed promise of a good beginning in a charitable future for our neighborhood...
 
Wow, I am so with you on that Ina, funny but my plans include truly working at being happy, enjoying as much as I can. I have big plans, exciting plans and am putting things together now. All I'll say at this point is that I am planning to move to my "forever" home, lol! Through the kindness of good friends, I have found a spot that seems right up my alley.

I am happy to hear of your plan as well Ina. We are older now, but there is a lot we can do to enjoy our lives, huge hugs for you and yours;) Denise
 
That sounds great Ina, nice that you can be active and use your skills as treasurer too. Cool you got to pick out the name! :)
 
Someone made the statement "All politics are local". I can't imagine not being part of a City or municipality. Your plans to be active in your neighbor's efforts to organize and work together sounds like an opportunity, as well as a challenge. Ina, you have a store of wisdom and common sense in you, and they will serve you well. Keep us posted! :)
 
Jim, he's not a rich lawyer, so we'll have to do some reseach concerning his advice just to be on the safe side. :lofl: I'm going to see if we can get someone with a sense of humour to do our monthly news letter. Maybe that will help us not to get too big for our britches. :wave:
