I'm such a lucky slob. I got to visit with an amazing 93-year-old lady, and this is the view from her living room.
No good reason to be there. I was invited along with friends and served coffee and walnut torte and ice cream. Just because at 93, this lady has learned that she can take all the time she wants to do what she wants, be it have company, cook tortes in spring pans, or sleep.
Here's something from an essay she wrote; I hope she doesn't mind that I quote this tiny bit:
We're each given our life, our own Great Adventure
our chance to learn, to accomplish deeds great and small,
some of which will matter.
