Today was a little sunny. I was so excited to get to the beach and took a long, great walk during low tide while listening to excellent tunes on my I Pod. Fun, fun, fun until the fog rolled in. Then, the sun broke through for about two hours. The afternoon wind picked up and blew me over to a boat on Marblehead Harbor, but again the fog won and we all froze, thinking it was really April outside. Summer fun…..when?

In the book, Eat, Pray, Love, she writes about an Italian phase, Bella Fa Niente, The Art of Doing Nothing……this is my dream, to do nothing, even for a day, at the beach. Hopefully soon.

Three years ago, I tried to read this book, Eat, Pray and Love, while I was in Italy and thought I threw it into the canal in Venice. I’ve been listening to it on CD all week and have to admit, I LOVE this book. I can only hope to write one as funny, interesting and real as this author has done. I can’t belive I liked this book, funny, how we can be open for somethings at one time and closed another time.

My Maui friends were visiting today. I felt badly for them, because it rained the entire week. They even experienced their first Nor’easter. I made them eat clam chowdah, steamahs, and lobstah too. It was wicked good. I even got to show them the Atlantic. It was very cool to see their reactions to things like fire escapse, subways, the extremely expensive parking in Boston. They wondered if they detailed your car after you parked too. After I said goodbye, they waved and said Aloha. I’m never felt warmer and missed Maui more. When I told another friend, Krena, that my heart lives in Maui, she told me that I was Bi-Plantal.

Recently when booking a hotel on-line, when I went to type in my name, a list came up to click on: Ms., Mrs., Mr., Princess, Prince, etc. I hesitated and thought, what if I clicked on Princess. I knew that I could buy a tiara and perhaps tell the front desk people that it was a short marriage to a prince from a very small country. I didn’t do it this time, but the next time I will. I have to buy the tiara first.

The last year of my life has been filled with great blessings. During the amazing book signings, I’ve had great friends stop by (thank you very much) and had some old friends that I haven’t seen in years come too. It’s been so wonderful. The other great part of the signings have been the people who want to write a book and aren’t sure where to begin. I love being able to pass on information to them that my mentors have passed on to me. Happy First Day of Summer!

So while I was at the doctor’s office getting a pulled muscle looked at, I found a Large Print Reader’s Digest. I was happy there was a large print magazine there and there was a little article that still has me laughing. It seems that in Scranton, PA, a woman was so upset at her overflowing toilet, that she was cursing in such a loud voice, the neighbors called the police and now, I guess it’s legal to curse your toilet while in Scranton, PA. My father, Larry, used to call me and tell me these type of tidbits in the news that would make me smile. I hope this makes you smile.

When I turned 50, it was a fun party and I didn’t even mind getting an AARP card in the mail. And what I’ve learned in the last three years has helped me so much that my next book will reflect many of these life’s lessons. Today was another turning point, after going to the doctor’s for a pull muscle, she suggested taking Advil. I finally bought the East Open Arthritis Cap bottle…..feeling very 50ish, but still smiling.

So I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I am a reality TV show nut. Recently, I found this new show, So you want to be a Superhero. It was the perfect show to help me to take an Sunday nap. The creator and host of the show is a famous comic book writer and picks the final person. The last two people, were Fat Mama, a wonderful woman who wanted to teach everyone to be happy with their individual style and Mr. Feedback. When Mr. Feedback was 13 his father passed away and the creator of the hero comic books, became Mr. Feedback’s hero. It was his dream to become a superhero. While I watched this show, between winks, I started thinking, that no matter how crazy a dream is, and this was pretty crazy, it’s all about your dream and believing that you can do anything. After winning, Mr. Feedback yelled out into the crowd, “Every dream you’ve ever had is possible.” Well, I have to admit, I cried. Go after your dream, no matter how big or small, you’ll feel like a superhero just going for it.
