Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!

Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.

Diane Memories

Wylie T Katz, a gift from Diane
It's almost Diane's birthday....she's nearby and in my thoughts. 
Every once in a while, when things are particularly crazy I'll feel her hand touch my shoulder like in the old days...as if to say "Hang in there, kiddo. It's gonna be okay." 

Diane gave us Wylie after Ginger died...
She was so very supportive no matter how crazy I was....


She was, and remains, an incredible friend. It's hard to believe she's gone....so hard to believe she experienced all that, survived for so many years battling that damned Ovarian Cancer. Dear God, why? Why did she, why does anyone have to suffer?

I know, I know...we are mortal; diseases are part of the program and pain is part of it too.  But so is joy and love. Her friendship was one of those wonderful things of life. I miss her terribly.

For today, Fifty Five Is the New Diane memories, thinking of my dearest friend.
