Still loving senior camp - it's been one of my fave weeks so far and driving the golf cart is really exhilerating - I feel like the neighbourhood cabbie/ bus driver and the passengers are so gracious and grateful. Never thought I'd find such job satisfaction behind a steering wheel!
One lady today told me the sweetest story of how she met her 2nd husband. Basically her husband of 40-ish years had died and her son put an ad in the personal section of the local paper saying he was advertising on behalf of his mom (who'd more than kill him if she knew he was doing this!) He came round one day with a stack of letters from the respondees. And yes, she almost did kill him!!! Eventually, she had a look at the letters and was particularly taken by one. And that guy is her husband now of 8 years and they are at camp together and totally devoted. How cute is that!!!! Shows that as long as our hearts are beating, we can always be open to love and newness in our lives.
Speaking of which, Tom is meant to be coming out for the July 4 weekend, but now may not be as air prices are horrible. The best flight deal we've found so far is $880, which is a bit nuts for three days. Of course, I'm totally wanting to see him, but I will try and adopt Zen like detachment as it may not happen!!
I just had to drop some stuff off in the room of a really sweet guy here - and he had about 20 pill boxes lined up on his dressing table : ( poor thing!!
I really do adore all these people here, who just seem so happy to be alive and have such gracious attitudes. They are definitely all teachers for me and I love their company, too!!!! It really is a treat to hang out with 80-somethings on vacation!
