I returned from my “celebration of friendship” trip relaxed and rejuvenated. We had a great time searching for treasures, seeing the sights, and dining to piano music.  Our hotel, the Vanderbilt Grace, was beautiful; an old mansion reminiscent  of a bygone era. Except, of course, for the very modern spa in the basement where we were scrubbed and rubbed from head to toe.  Heaven!

I guess it’s time to start to develop some sort of every day stay- at- home routine. What worked before I went back to work will not work now.  First order of business is to clean out a closet full of cloths that do not fit me or my current status.  Running around in too tight pencil skirts and trousers that need high heels is not going to cut it. So for today, at least, I can put off a higher purpose and purge my closet of the old me. Tomorrow, world peace!
