I turned 80

My birthday is November 7, 1942.  This year my daughter and her mom invited me and provided a plane ticket for me to visit Portland, Oregon for my birthday and Thanksgiving.  It was the best time that I have had in the USA in many years.  The result of this event is that I feel energized and happy to accept my situation, living in Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico.

​The following shows the primary party for my birthday.

What do I know now;

HORIZON: For most of my life, I never thought of an ENDING.  Since COVID and my 80th, I know there is a horizon, and yes, I know there is an END.  I just do not know when or where it will manifest.  I'm sure the next adventure will be more exciting.

FAMILY: That is all there is.  I said it, and my sister said it.  It is about the precious nature of family.

TIME: Do not waste it if there is no JOY.

JOY: If there is no JOY, do not do it.  

HEALTH: Have nothing to do with TOXIC people, places, or things.  Move away and toward the positive people, places, and things.
