I got 2 days of work so far this week and I plan to go to another agency this afternoon so I have more chances to get work assignments. I took care of this sweet 80 something woman this week and I made sure to stay in the present moment a lot. I asked her lots of questions about her life 1. to keep her alert and thinking 2. I enjoy hearing people's life stories, especially how they met their spouses. I found myself being reminded of a very wise woman's advice many years ago when I was a waitress and that was " your golden years are now. Do what you want to do now. Travel, take a chance on doing something new, explore new things and ideas, because if you put it off until "retirement" you may not be well enough to do it". I heard pretty much the samething from J these past few days. She had a fun life and took chances and now she has wonderful memories. I made sure I was "aware" and listened to her...afterall, I attracted her into my life so I did not want to miss a minute of the lessons she had for me.

Hope your day is fun, don't forget to look for your life lessons and for goddess sake don't forget to laugh out loud!

I went to Costa Mesa today to apply at Native Foods Cafe. It is a vegan restaurant located in a very "hip" mall that is unlike any mall I have ever been to. I'm sure if the owners knew I called it a mall they would be insulted. I got excited as soon as I arrived. The energy there was great! I am so not mainstream and I definitely realize it when I am around places like this, although it is ususally one shop among a zillion mainstream ones, not a string of like minded shops. I was able to get an interview right away which is great... it is a drag to fill out an application and have to keep coming back to check on it. Of course I was the oldest one again. I feel just as "hip" as the younger people who are also applying for a job. Can't they see how hip and young at heart I am? Well, maybe I don't look so hip when I first get out of bed but after a few stretches and coffee, I can run with the big dogs... ok... maybe fast walking.

Bought a birthday gift for Anna in here. They share retail space with Patagonia. I haven't seen one of those stores since I left S.F.

I would never thought to use a restored travel trailer as a shop. The plant shop was closed today. Darn it! I would have loved to snoop around that old Silverstream.

Owning my own motor home is definitely on my bucket list!

Beautiful succulent drought resistant plants.

I want another tattoo...

Hope your day is fun and don't forget to laugh out loud!
