Ten Brilliant Things I Experienced After 75
- Toasted sandwiches of cheddar cheese covered with grated beets placed on seeded whole grain bread.
- Listening to the funny stories of senior citizens’ lives in a writing class.
- Two bright orange butterflies hanging fluttering unusually long over the patio in clear sight of my sunroom
- Dreaming about the dead of a snowy winter while taking a nap on a hot summer’s day’s.
- Re-reading the poem on the statue of Liberty’s base.
- Finding buds on the night blooming epiphyllum that I thought would die when I moved here last November
- The realization that it is highly likely Trump is suffering from a kind of dementia and cannot help but display it.
- The scent of newly picked tomatoes
- The scent and pliable feel of newly picked green beans
- My favorite perfume’s scent, that of roses and violets.

Finding buds on a night blooming anything sounds pretty miraculous to me.

You are so right...once Kermit and I stood in the dark of our yard and counted 39 blooms fully open and I felt it was too much glory for just two people to absorb.

So confession: Sometimes through a combination of dark feelings and browser autocomplete, i find myself at https://www.reddit.com/r/grilledcheese/ where my palate wakes and my mood is soothed as I imagine what things taste like.
