You know, we old people always have words of wisdom. It's what we do best, besides remember things from the past. I received an email from a long term friend with some words of wisdom that I will pass along at the end of this short entry.
I am in full Pretravel Freak Dance Mode and currently am in the process of cleaning out my purse. Traveling light is the goal. It's amazing, still, what I think I absolutely must take with me and carry around at all times. I carry a very small bag, but I can handle almost any basic emergency, including a power failure (flashlight) and a size question (tape measure). A comb or brush I can do without, lol. I have fingers! I can put away the Tattoo Goo, as my eyebrows are mostly healed and look very nice.
The C-Cup Ladies will be doing a section on Aging, a topic I am familiar with both personally and professionally, since I did Adult Protective Services for 11 years during my social work career. I also worked with the Home Help program, providing government home care funds to the elderly and disabled. My personal contribution to the Chronicles will be about the deep chemical peel I had done on my face. Somewhere I have a very, uh, flattering picture of me approximately a week after it was done and I was on the mend.
I am like a child with ADD right now, so I will move on to my next six tasks, all at the same time, and complete none of them. Here are my passed-along words of wisdom:
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

LOL I love your quote! Sounds like your addition to the C-Cup Chronicles will be an interesting read. Congrats on actually getting your purse cleaned out. For me, that's one area badly in need of attention, but I dread delving into those dark recesses. Who knows what could be lurking in there? ¤Holly
Holy Shit, Suz! Have a great trip. Come back and tell us how you skidded sideways and wore yourself out in Winnepeg. You can give us the PG-13 version.
Hi Suzy,
I agree with these words of wisdom. We are given life to live to the fullest.
I can imagine you have learned quite a bit from having to work with the elderly and the disabled as well. That is a very rewarding career.
I also love to travel light and yet I am prepared for emergengy as well as ballroom dancing.
XO,
Anita
Hey Suz, catching up here, I'm envious of all the traveling you're doing, even if it's just to glamorous Manitoba... hey, there's "Man" in Manitoba, right? --Albert
