Another list: I am the list Queen (or 1 among the many of us). This one is not part of my generation long book list or movie list or Bucket list. This one has to do with what is “on my mind today.” It is Paul’s my beloved and my 55th anniversary. The summer Solstice is 1 1/2 hours away, it is the first day of the 9 day Rochester International Jazz Fest. I gave my husband a gift, (we do not habitually exchange gifts because we buy each other gifts at random just living, doing and seeing the world) a metal print of his spectacular appearance as Marshall at our Brown U 55th reunion in full uniform and wrote a poem in honor of our many rich years together.
My list: On my mind (the order of the list is random)
*our 55th year (recalling we met in kindergarten if not before)
*Jazz Fest
*first day of summer
*two of our fabulous 5 grandsons are now in the EU touring
*aging; quote Nora Ephron. “I don’t mind aging, I just don’t like looking like it
*Fear of falling, let me fall no more
*Let us wage war no more (Iran, US air force drone downing and the straight’s of Hormuz crisis), the environment, hunger, refugees…
*Friend’s illnesses to despair
*My stained teeth that can’t be bleached to the detriment of enamel destruction
*The state of our global political chaos at present and the world being passed to younger generations
*How lucky I am , how blessed and fortunate and how we continue to support those in need and deed.
*returning this summer to read as a volunteer at Reachout Radio, WXXI fm and more
what is on your minds?
