This was a great weekend. The Patriots won big time. (Sorry Steelers fans…not really). The Broncos won -Hooray! (I don’t think I know any Kansas City
WJJ and I had a great Saturday evening with friends. Lots of delicious Italian food and wine. And most importantly, my dear friend Yvonne came through major surgery with flying colors!
When someone you love is experiencing serious health problems it reinforces my philosophy. When facing a challenge - there are only two points to consider. If it’s not life or death - it’s everything else. Of course you can then break down your challenges into “major inconvenience” and “minor inconvenience”. Major inconveniences might include - God forbid - breaking a leg. Minor inconveniences are things like losing your wallet. Something like “running out of gas” is not an inconvenience --it is “bad planning”.
Anyway, several people in my “inner circle” are experiencing life and death situations. But as I shared with my good friend Avis when she found out she had breast cancer, you cannot give cancer or illness even more control over your life.
I realize that takes a whole lot of inner strength. But you know what, every day that you don’t shed a tear, you should - no erase that - you must rejoice.
So all things considered, it was a fabulous weekend!!! And tonight it’s a wine tasting event (for charity) and tomorrow my Executive Assistant Gina and I are going out for dinner. And Saturday evening it is another charity event for the Opera Company.
It will certainly be a fun and fattening week!
(By the way, do you know that the French do not have a word for “fun”. They think it is too immature and childlike. )
Oh well, C’est la vie!
