"I have to ease up on worry, scheming for films of roles, planning for better surroundings, and feeling anger at all our leaders who operate politically rather than humanely. Yes, I am over all that. I'm over listening to advertisements, the latest fashions (I never was much for that), events I should attend in order to be seen, red carpet madness. I'm getting more and more free from the expectations of the external world. In fact, the worry I can't seem to give up and get over is a lingering fear that being a reclusive, happy, older woman may not be entirely healthy. But who says so?...
I'm not over going to the movies, seeing live theater, hearing symphonies of music, eating a good dinner (I'm learning to dine out alone), attending a worthy charity event (for half an hour), visiting a sick friend, or toys to the animal shelter...
One thing will always be a constant with me. I have a guiding sense of curiosity. I will never get over asking Why."
