What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
Old, not a word I dread, as long as my mind and body continue to work. I want to keep going. I don’t think there is anything after life, I seriously doubt it, so I want to be me for as long as I can.
Health is the problem. Co-morbidities are flung at me at a rapid rate. One thing or another to take tablets for, carefully balanced to keep me going. Unless the pharmacy can’t get my pills, they are out of stock, suppliers let them down. Almost every month there is a problem where I’m left owed something.
After all that I would like to leave a legacy of my art. I hope my paintings won’t get thrown out, maybe I can keep going for seberal more years. I will try.

I came to a kind of peace with my paintings. They will end up in thrift stores and might be painted over. If someone sees one and likes it? Wow. If someone paints over it? I know how much this stuff costs. I’m not good enough and didn’t get an early enough start to be anything like a professional artist with a famous name. It’s OK. Now I think it’s more important that I enjoy my life than anything else. Today at the courthouse I had to take the elevator because I cannot climb up or down 3 flights of stairs. The gift of THAT was a few other people with mobility problems saw me head for the elevator that they didn’t know was there. We were all happy and grateful in there together. ❤️

Hi, I turned 85 last month and I’m tired and would not mind going for a long long rest, but that is not happening so I’ve decided to start painting again. 🙂
