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.

Thoughts on Diane

Made this meditation/picture originally for Diane...she hung it by her bedside.  She used to talk about wellness, and took such care of herself that when Cancer struck it was a major surprise to everyone!

Her long battle with the disease was a combination of tragedy and inspiration. She wrestled with death 'til the last, denying its nearness until moments before her final breath.

Her denial was hard to take sometimes, but then again that's how she handled the horror I'm sure swum around her mind when the world was still and the drugs kept her from sleeping.

Until the end she didn't want narcotics. I am still amazed at that; the pain must have been severe. She did take medicines to help with her nerves, and of course 'til she couldn't any more, medical cannabis. 

When she died, she left some of her friends in her will, including yours truly.  Bless her. It was enough to pay some of my debts and upgrade computers, musical instruments and get the video production under way.  Jackaranda Graphics and Sound was only possible because of Diane.  My hope is we can really make it work, in her honor.
Now she's gone and I miss her.
