I will turn 79 in September...and I'm not done. Completing a second memoir. Enjoying life.

Loved the poem. (I dislike being the same age as you know who) I do believe 79 will look good on me as I continue to bloom.

Fantastic, and this is my favorite line - "Let there be a contagion of grace" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My best friend made me a tee shirt that says "exploding with grace" and it's one of my favorite things 😉

I did this today too!!! Wrote something in my journal about what I would do, how I would be and what I hope for the world. Today feels extra hard.... especially now with the Michigan assassination/attempted assassination. God bless everyone.
