The Diet Is Over (I think)

It was a busy week.  As the end drew near I took a little me time, watched TV, listened to NPR, read and went to hear jazz & spoken word poetry with M.  I checked my email & got lots of introductions from eHarmony, but no emails from the men.  Amazingly, it didn't bother me.

D and I spent time together - and had fun.  After a few days of confusion, I re-oriented myself to again thinking of him as "Mr. Right Now" - all pressure gone.  We laughed, watched football, went walking, flew his helicopter (which surprisingly is a lot of fun) and he cooked for me (and since his cooking skills have improved, that was a lot of fun for me). 

Without having expectations for the future I am much better able to enjoy the moment.  There is wisdom in living in the moment (or at least trying!).  When I was a kid & worried, my mom used to say "don't borrow trouble" and my aunt used to say "no one is promised tomorrow - live today".  Both wise women were trying to teach me to live in the moment, to enjoy today.  My mom tried for the first 10 years of my life and my aunt tried for the next 25.  It's only taken me 48 to try to practice what they preached!

I wonder what part of the play I am in... Act 1, Act 2, Intermission?  What I do know is that I'm singing.  And smiling.
