     Wake up to thick fog this morning.  Put on warm clothes and head for the kitchen for coffee and cereal.  The sun appears before the oatmeal is cooked.

     I have started reading the new Elizabeth Strout novel, TELL ME EVERYTHING. I love her books. A break from bleak detective novels. I am now reading my New Yorker magazines every week again. The writing stimulates my curiosity of the world around me. I am glad to still be alive.

     The endless cycle of chores today, fold laundry, take out garbage and trash, water plants on the deck, clear off dinning room table. I am sure there is something I have forgotten.

     I wake up this morning wondering what it will be like to be dying.  Not so scary after all and of course I am healthy right now so it is an exercise of imagination. But of course, this can change at anytime.
