I was tickled by how much you guys liked your calendar picture. Made me feel like I actually did catch an important aspect of who you are. I will enjoy seeing your smiling 'faces' throughout the coming year. February, March, June, July and December!

Krista! Beverly posted a shout out to her yesterday because she is the one that made FSF happen all those years ago. Thank you dear friend.

Going out to dinner with Deborah tonight.

Being able to do so much more than I could before surgery. Had my PT reassessment yesterday. Carmella couldn't stop smiling over how much I have improved!

Feeling excited about future trips I,hopefully,
will be able to take. Due to money and, eventually, needing to retire(!),there may only be 3 or 4 more. At this moment, I have a 3 week trip planned for next April/May. 17 days in Paris and 3 in London. BUT, my dream of attending a whole opera at La Scala in Milan may change things up. I was there once but due to jet lag and how warm it was in the theater, I had to leave after the first act because I couldn’t stay awake! Then, a few years after that, I had tickets to attend a Christmas concert there. My train from Venice to Milan was delayed for hours because of an earthquake just north of Milan, so I missed the concert. By chance, Turandot is being presented during this coming trip. I love that Opera. It's the one where Pavarotti sang 'Nessun Dorma' which is my favorite male operatic piece. In fact, Carin knows to play it over and over if I'm ever very sick with little chance of getting better. Anyway, tickets go on sale next Thursday and I'll go on line and try to score a ticket. That might change my travel dates a little. I might have been able to say all that with fewer words, but, I LOVE talking about it, visualizing it!! LOL
