Hello, my friends out there!
I'm finally back to my BLOG adventures and I wanted to share some of my adventures so you would know me better. I would love to hear from you!
Some of my adventures, including a trip to Europe when I was 19, young and naive, will add to my writing soon. :-)
I've done some crazy fun stuff and I keep on learning... Some of my treasures are shark fishing (thanks, Alan), jumping out of an airplane (thanks to my son, Paul) and when I bought myself a Harley Davidson XG750 for my 72nd birthday. :-)

Is Anyone There?
Anyone out there?
Anyone listening?
Hello?
Anything you want to tell me -- or tell someone?
Anything you want to know from me? Or about me?
I would LOVE to hear from you.
It's so nice to know your communications have reached someone.
Just say hi?
Someone once told me, 'WRITERS WRITE!"
But writers also want to know that READERS READ!
Thanks!
Diane

More Things My Grandkids Don't Know About Me
Things My Grandkids Don't Know About Me
For many, many years I had an inability to confront life situations and that is why, unfortunately, I wasted a lot of good time 'being bulimic' and then smoking dope.
Before that, I was the model 'girl next door,' Girl Scout and then Prom Queen twice. I earned a four year State Scholarship by exam and then went to college at the University of Illinois and I got my degree at Northwestern. But in spite of 'making the Dean's List,' I learned virtually nothing; my fault.
Then some years later, I got on a motorcycle with an idiot and became a hippie. Those were the most miserable months of my life.
Spending almost 3 years without my kids was my worst mistake.
Not learning how to spot low-toned and destructive people earlier was not smart.
Thinking that everyone else had the answers and knew what they were doing was especially stupid. My own integrity and awareness should have been what guided me through all those years of doubt and mistakes.
But, thanks to the efforts of an amazing man, with clarity and vision and persistence, I began to unravel the questions I had had for a very long time. Then I began to find my own answers and to see that I although I had made many mistakes, I wasn't wrong about many things.
We don't have to have wars and disease and insanity. We don't need to hurt one another and make life harder than it already is. We can be happy. I know. I am.
I have seven grandchildren and they are each amazing to me. I was there for each birth and I want to last a long time to see what they do and if there is any way that I can help.
Ask me anything. :-)

Have You Ever Felt Invisible?
American Indians and other cultures value their elders and look upon them as wiser because of their years and experiences.
Not in this country.
As I get "older" but feel younger and wiser, I seem to grow more and more invisible to some others.
Check it out. See if you pass by any "older" people today. See if you pay much attention to them or if you barely notice them.
Are they becoming invisible?
I sure wish I had my Grandmother Sarah around right now. She fled Russia in the early 20's, crossed the border into Poland in a wagon keeping three small children quiet, lived in a strange country for a year before they were allowed into the U.S. and then they weren't very well received.
This woman spoke five or six languages and was an expert seamstress and cook/baker. She raised chickens at her home in Wisconsin and grew the most amazing fruits and vegetables there. She canned and preserved and stayed active in various groups well into her late 70's. She taught me many things but she could have taught me so much more.
But she became more and more invisible. Less and less respected and admired.
Sarah Silver, I hope you can hear me now. You were positively amazing and I still love you with all my heart.
Your aging granddaughter. :-)

The End of 2012 and It's February!
Sure seems like it was just..... :-)
Ah, well, does it matter if another year is gone if we feel that we did something useful and productive with it?
I love my life these days. Of course, I wasted some time doing some stupid things along the way, but not now so much as I grow older and wiser.... ;-)
One of my favorite quotes is this: "Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow. "*
What a brilliant man. Thank you, Sir.
