During my active time as a member, I served on the Board of Directors and ran for President against Marion Rees!! Needless to say, she won!!! Haha. But, I did it anyway.

CHOOSE THE UNCOMFORTABLE.
“We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.” (Denis Waitley) WELLLLLL, it is never too late. I may still be blooming!! I like to think so, anyway.

CARNAVAL DE NICE
This is my 4th February in Nice, and I STILL have not gone to a Carnaval Parade. Why, you ask? …Well, it could be because I don’t like events with crowds.

CHRISTMAS “FUNNIES”
Remember the “funnies”. At least, that is what we called them. I don’t think newspapers have a “funnies” page anymore, do they? That is what I would tell Daddy to pass to me when he was reading The Atlanta Journal on Sunday mornings at the breakfast table.
