(A 1918 pastel that I found at the brocante in Paris last weekend.)
Thank you for your birthday wishes yesterday. How grateful I am to have your kindness and friendship shown to me.
Sixty is something to think about, or I should say I have been thinking about it a great deal.
A reality check, every day should be, but sixty really brings it to the light.
The question I seem to hear is "Live your life to the fullest", and then in the same breath "What does that really mean?" Especially since most of us cannot stop what we are doing and start living a life that we might think is fuller, more adventurous, more whatever. I guess I use to think "fuller" meant doing more and I have come to believe it doesn't mean that necessarily.
Live life to the fullest to me is to be present to the moments at hand, to be aware "with" my each of my senses.
To touch
To taste
To see
To hear
To smell
Deeply.
Not just stop and smell the roses but feel them against my skin, to see each petal, to be grateful for their gift.
To live each moment with awareness with gratitude.

Regarding the French Antique Guessing Game, the correct answer was not found!
A stumper!
The most creative guess came from:
"This looks like an elaborate milking machine for a very large cow……you just have it wrong side up at present…..before they changed them to suction cups! "
Below you will "see" the French Antique Guessing Game Answer:
A toothbrush holder.
Ha! That was not what you were expecting, nor I.
