Now that I'm old and single again I'm finding that you
end up right back where you start out as a teenager. I’ve blogged before about
the 'movie and lunch' club I joined at the senior hall. But with this month's outing it
dawned on me that it was a lot like group dating. Anywhere from 15 to 30 people
meet for lunch and a movie and the only difference between now and back when I
was young is now we had emails flying back and forth ahead of time, trying to
figure who can give so-and-so a ride because they can't drive.
I wish I had something wise, witty or wonderful to write
about. I don’t. On the other hand, I don’t have anything demented, depressing
or desperate to report either. Life in my post-Don era is going on, one step
after another with fewer and fewer false starts in between the steps. And when
I do have an occasional, wispy wish for the past I remind myself of this quote
attributed to playwright Carolyn Myers: “Everything will be okay in the end. If
it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.” ©
I just read this post and had to smile at the last quote. Over the weekend, I and my mother-in-law and sister-in law while my husband and I were visiting in St. Louis went to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel with Judy Dench and Maggie Smith and other wonderful British actors. The "owner" of the hotel frequently says "All will be alright in the end, and if it isn't alright, it's not the end." I find that quite consoling.
