It's record-cold this year, with no sign of letup. <br /><br />As for this sentence in your blog, <i>"Some propose to take it strictly one day at a time, which can turn into a form of denial—just don't think about it."</i> I'd say it's not denial; it's reality. There is no past and no future, only the present. And the more time you spend there, the better. <br /><br />So just go with the flow. You've earned it. <br /><br />Saludos,<br /><br />Kim G<br />Redding, CA<br /><i>Where we need someone to remind us to take our own advice. ;-)<br /></i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-49092324533516018822017-12-30T17:06:03.563-06:002017-12-30T17:06:03.563-06:00¡Feliz Cumpleaños y Buen Viaje!

What I don't like is the back pain after standing for 20 minutes, or getting dizzy when I look up for more than a few minutes. Or stores, that do not provide a place to sit down. Enjoy your trip to NYC. The last time I was there was 1938.

I did it over three years ago. Not recommended, but what can you do? Unlike you, I have little interaction with old people because most everyone in my Mexican family is younger or far younger than I am. I am the old person.<br /><br />So welcome to the over-70 Club. Most of mankind has never made it this far, so that's something to ponder. Felíz cumpleaños.
