BEST 2: BUTTER (in heaven)

Prior to yesterday's blog, I dwelt on age.  But after having received a jolt from J. Bond and a card from Patti, I continue on with my "BESTS" list.

While at mass last Sunday, Father Lambert spoke of death.  He had kicked off his homily with the question, "How ready are you to die?".  A question no one dared answer, and had left everyone in deep thought.  I felt fear. Though Father Lambert had successfully transformed the gloom into a joyful and promising outlook, this question I just had to ask J. Bond in a hush ...

"Do you think there's BUTTER in heaven?"

My daily fix is butter.  Really!  A fixation that goes far back to my childhood days. Obviously, it lives to this day.



So here you go, my 2nd BEST, BUTTER!

Aging=BLESSINGS

I feel J. Bond's exhaustion from my neverending nightmare called aging.  He says..."Age is only but a number! Why not dwell on your blessings instead of age!".  Fine! So, I stare and stay on mute mode for a couple of minutes. Then in a flash, I  go at it once again. On his end, long silence. Oh men!

It truly pays off to have girl friends who simply know how to perk things up. Patti and I met up two nights ago for a burrito/steak sandwich/french fries/onion rings dinner.  After much talk and before we said our goodbyes, she handed over in advance a floral pack of L'Occitane bath products and this birthday card.  

The card says it all.  It had shoo-ed away the no sense issue of aging from my thoughts, my heart, practically my whole being. So before my birthday arrives (a week from today), I will follow J. Bond's words..."dwell on your blessings!".  I will list and share with you a few of my BESTS as we go along each day, then culiminate on my DAY.

Here you go...*In no particular order by the way.

FIRST, Buggy (with real name Bugsy) and his new habit of LICKING (my face and feet).
