Last Tuesday my little
blue Mercury Mystique died
(We were together 21 years!)
I was coming back from Lowe’s
with marigolds and begonias
in the trunk
with a Good Will Yamaha keyboard
on the backseat
and a load of groceries!!
Holy Cow! As soon as I
heard the engine skipping,
I drove straight to 5-Star Garage.
I was so scared that I wouldn’t make it!!
But I did.
Oh, but now, I’m depressed!
Last night I took this
homeopathic remedy for
apprehension.
Oh, the ordeal of trying out
used cars!
The ordeal of asking for more rides.
The ordeal of figuring out
addresses to “enter”
for Uber!!!

Settle down

So now it’s Sunday Morning.
Thanks to Krista Tippett’s
OnBeing guest, Sylvia Boorstein
and her Jewish-Buddhist
2,011 “metta-meditation:”
May I feel safe.
May I feel content.
May I feel strong.
May I live with ease.”
I’m feeling a little better!

SUDDENLY, I thought "BLOG!"
Yes!! Tell the photo story
of how an 80-year-old
goes about Uber-ing
and test-driving
used cars . . .
While also “Waiting for Godot,”
still on the Waiting List for a
Lanier Gardens Apartment, where I’m
waiting for someone to die!

Better now to stop and
write what I've learned today.
It's about this gift of aging wisdom remembering to "recalculate"
as the GPS voice says!
Renewing my sense of
what's really important
and practicing lovingkindness
in the world which
can nurture us,
if we allow it to,
and keep the right attitude.
Instead of asking,
“Am I pleased?”
ask myself,
"In this moment
am I able to care?”
=========
So, here's to the music!
Welcome the Yamaha keyboard which
will play my old diskettes!!
And a recent garden photo
And another photo I took
since this year is probably
my last Spring on the deck
in a little brick house
the McDaniel family of five
moved in 50 years ago.

Tomorrow I begin my
"To Uber?"
or
“To Buy a Used Car?”
Adventure
I’ll be sure and take more photos!
stay tuned . . .
