Sometimes getting older feels like going through your home and turning out the lights one room at a time.
My country
‘‘’Tis of thee
Sweet Land of Liberty
Of thee I sing.
Land of the Pilgrim’s Pride
Land where my Fathers died
From every mountain side,
Let Freedom ring.
My Dear Friends,
On the eve of what I hope history remembers as the Great Voting Booth Revolution of 2026, I want you to know that although it has been digital, standing shoulder to shoulder w/ you has been a source of hope & strength in these these troubled times.
Thank you.
I’m not looking for “luxury” living in these final years. Safe, inviting, comfortable, convenient, attractive, well equipped, yes. But I don’t need “luxury.” Especially since what is being called “luxury “in senior housing these days seems often to be more “faux luxury.”
I have so much I need to do - cleaning,, organizing, appointments to make (haircut, doctors, etc), medicare and financial decisions to make, deadlines to meet, etc. And I just can’t make myself to do it. It’s like I have run out of gas and my engine does not give a sputter.
I spent a lifetime meeting deadlines,filling out forms, going to training, estimating past, summarizing current, forecasting future.
1 am 80 and my life I’m still on the same treadmill. I won’t be surprised if I have to fill out quarterly reports from the grave.

There is a big push to privatize the Medicare system. Aside from the many advantages of traditional Medicare, keeping it out of the hands of private insurance companies is a big incentive. That said, dental and vision coverage should be more universal.
To the nonprofits who include sheets of self stick return labels for my address as a “gift” to me:
PLEASE STOP
Ev’ry breath taken
Changes us to someone new,
Strangers to ourselves.
We write our lives with our lives.
I have had a Medigap plan since I became eligible for Medicare. I feel tremendous pressure to switch to an Advantage plan. I have a lot of health issues. I worry that Advantage might not approve my doctors and treatments.

Hello, October. 🤍💕
A new month is another reminder that time is precious. Forgive what needs forgiving. Heal what needs healing. Grow through what you have experienced, and give yourself grace along the way.
Time is the only currency we spend without ever knowing the balance. Spend it on what brings you peace, purpose, joy, and alignment.
Here’s to a beautiful October. 🩷
