**_“Our feet are planted in the real world, but we dance with Angels and ghosts.”
~ John Cameron Mitchell. _**

I really like the above quote by John Cameron Mitchell. This is so inspiring that
we are dancing with Angels and ghost. I think about my loved ones. How I sometimes
smell a scent in the air that reminds me of them. Or times I feel a cool breeze 
behind me when I am in the middle of doing something. Memories are great when they
are good, right?

**_Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS_** (I couldn’t help but think of the song OR
THE movie. This movie premiered in the year 1986. Recently there was a remake of
the movie. Ah, nostalgic a little? I was! I am now at the age where I see remakes
of song and movies. My doctors are younger than me plus I have a lot of experience
with making mistakes and good memories. I am pretty sure this gets even better with
age.

I had a birthday this year that made me Fifty😁. **6-23-1974, y**ep, that’s the 
day. Now, I don’t claim to know everything like I thought I did as a teenager. By
the way, I have a teenager. Seventeen to be exact. Pray for him and me cause from
here on out life becomes even more of a natural disaster. Heaven help us. I personally
didn’t like that age at all. In fact, I felt like a fish out of water. I often felt
out of place. That was also 6 months to a year after my TBI (traumatic brain injury).
So, I double felt like a fish out of water. That’s twice…aha! Those were the days
I was totally out of character. That’s water under the bridge. No, I won’t reference
Adele here BUT, if you know you know. Also, I have gained wisdom to not give a rat’s
booty as much as I used to. That’s nice, huh? I have also reached the age where 
I am always, permanently ready to go to bed. Sleep is my friend. One of my Best 
Friends.

Okay, so I will reference Adele,

People call me weird. Well, I am not sure if they do? But if they did, that would
be okay. It took me 50 years to accept myself. Maybe, I was the one that thought
I was weird all these years? Yes, I gain from improvements. We all do. Isn’t it 
wonderful to feel free like we did when we were kids? We are not as free as we were
when we were kids. But at 50, I am without peer pressure to an extent. So that’s
a step ahead.

Life is ironic Take it from here, Alanis Morissette…

let it roll off of your back like water does on a duck’s back. ** You will be okay,
I think.**

Until Next Time,

Heidi💜
