Short Entry with Music
These days I am doing a lot of thinking about various things in my life and it just occurred to me this morning that I am no longer afraid of what people think about me. {A brief pause here to mention I am listening to "The 59th Bridge St. Song –Feeling Groovy" and humming and smiling all the way through it!} Well, perhaps "afraid" is the wrong word. At this time in my life, I basically don’t care what people think of me. This is a huge change from how I used to be. In the past, I agonized over this. Now, I can’t imagining anything sillier! What does it matter what strangers think of me? Or, actually, most of the people I know. The only person whose opinion I need to be concerned about is Patricia. {The music now is "Slip Slidin’ Away"}
Total change of subject. My plans for the day include a quick trip to the grocery store mostly to buy fruit. And milk. And potatoes. And some veggies… Hmmm, maybe I need a list. I am trying to go to the store more frequently so I can avoid a huge number of bags to be carried from the car to my apartment. {The music is now Art Garfunkel and others singing "Morning Has Broken."}
OK, on with the day.
“That which we persist in doing becomes easier. It is not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like the music in the background. Have a good shopping trip. I got to thinking last night about how much I enjoyed reading the Emily Carr book. So, once again, thank you.

I didn’t know that Garfunkel sang Morning has Broken. I thought only Cat Stevens sang that one. I’m totally with you on what people think. There’s a “poem” (???) About that. I’m going to find it now.

I find myself caring less and less about what people think of me. The only reason I care at all is because I don’t want my family to be embarrassed about some of the things I’ve done. But most of them have done worse, so there you go! I love your choice of music!

Have a good shopping trip! I can’t keep anything straight unless I make a list. I love your comment about not caring what other people think — isn’t it wonderful? I stopped caring a long time ago, and it was so liberating.

I find the older that I get, the less that I care.
