But, I know I'd miss my family and good friends and what about the blog - so I guess I'll stay connected for awhile yet. Plus, I don't think hermits use the internet and Facebook much... Happy 2016, DJan - it's been a pleasure getting to know you.

It seems we all want more daylight. We want to walk in the light, I guess. <br />Today I am back home after spending Christmas away and I am enjoying doing nothing but rest and catch up on blogging. Lexie is sleeping in her bed beside my chair and that is very nice.<br />I hope you new year has very little hardship and much happiness with your achievements.<br /><br />I plan to see the movie, Youth, because Jane Fonda plays in it and she has become somewhat of a role model for me on ageing. She is just a bit older than I am but she inspires me.<br />Like you do, but in a different way.Glenda Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953170428175025248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-48337482073365951092015-12-28T09:23:23.792-08:002015-12-28T09:23:23.792-08:00Hi DJan, Your post got me going on my Chinese Horo...Hi DJan, Your post got me going on my Chinese Horoscope. I’m Year of the Pig. Yeah, I know, that sounds kinda bad, doesn’t it? :-) Well, here it is … “The Pig Horoscope 2016 predicts that you will deal with 2016 in an assured manner. There is more liberty to do whatever you want. You will face challenges in life with optimism and independence. While you are asserting yourself, at the same time you will be flexible in your approach.” Not too bad, eh? I love this and it’s probably something I wouldn’t have checked out, be it not for Eye on the Edge.

Sounded very familiar when I looked on imbd--black & white, muddled & confusing--and I never cared about this director (with his wife and mistress and entourage all pulling at him) having his creative block. I hope Youth isn't too much like 8 1/2 because it will probably be a confusing let down for me if it is. I was almost going to say I should try and watch 8 1/2 again because I might see it differently decades later...but life is too short--LOL! ;)<br /><br />I'm year of the rabbit. I must be an optimistic rabbit. When you said you got "achievement after hardship" I immediately thought--hurray! Because I assumed that meant you'd already been through the hardship and were going to have achievement this year. Reaping the rewards, so to speak. I prefer to read it that way. Here's to a wonderful 2016!! :) Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-35379743171181511642015-12-27T23:01:46.986-08:002015-12-27T23:01:46.986-08:00Interesting dreams you have.

We slow down at a pace that we don't notice. Look back at photos and the change hits you like a brick. However, I'm still the same person and will continue one day at a time.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-1163284846132005782015-12-27T14:39:11.649-08:002015-12-27T14:39:11.649-08:00What very specific dreams you have, and coming awa...What very specific dreams you have, and coming away with someone's name from it - well, my goodness.<br />I enjoyed this post a great deal, maybe because many of your introspections are like mine - or would be if I could gather and express them as well as you do. And like you, I'm heartened by the fact that I will still have my mind (or I hope I will) to continue exercising when the body starts dropping parts here and there.

There was a time all I wanted to do was curl up under a warm blanket and sleep through the dark days of winter. Thankfully this feeling has passed.

Same with fortune cookies except the last one I had - it read "You need to pick another cookie." That didn't seem ominous but didn't seem uplifting either. Thanks to your handy, dandy link, I've discovered I was born in the year of the Monkey and can anticipate Competition and Challenge in the new year. Based on what I've seen coming down the pike, that sounds about right.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!

I ...Some dreams are more vivid than others for me. I rarely can recall them when I awake. I wish at times that I would write them down when I do recall them. I think we can learn much about what we are working out in our sub-conscience by analyzing our dreams.<br /><br />I have not heard of the movie, but then, we seldom keep up with the movies. <br /><br />I too am more of a social walker. I didn't used to be when I was single and in my 40's. In those days, I walked many miles alone nearly every day. I had the perfect walking spot near my home in what was then an undeveloped area. I miss those days of solitary walking. I must rediscover them as I seldom meet up with others to walk and Jim works so many hours.<br /><br />Best to you. Have a good week.

Something we have not seen in days and days. I have doors flung open, listening to birds and yard machinery and smelling some wood smoke coming in from across the river. It feels like spring.

Long ago I dreamt of a lovely place in Germany I'd never been to. Several years later when Buddy was 6 my aunt asked us to join her to visit thr city of Bremen. While there we walked in a newly created underground shopping area and I lost my breath as I had a very powerful déjà vue experience! It was litterally the place that had been in my dreams and in detail with clocks on walls and old style decore all around me. To this day I have no idea how such a thing is possible. It happened a second time but ery differently.<br />I am a FIRE DOG in the Chinese system. I have not yet looked up my fate in the coming months. I had a rough summer in 2015 but all is well now and I want to hang on to that nice feeling. <br />Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-22827909374727319012015-12-27T11:01:58.770-08:002015-12-27T11:01:58.770-08:00I hope your hardships are small and your achieveme...I hope your hardships are small and your achievements large.

So we will see. Oh yes a job offer that I cannot refuse. <br />It has been a year, I am thinking back during these days...this year was both good and bad, not sure I would want to repeat it.<br />I have very vivid dreams in such beautiful colors...sometimes I hate to wake up! <br />I hope you have a wonderful week, I am glad your favorite instructor is back. Being an only child it must be hard for her she has no one left and feels orphaned.

I wake a 6:00 or earlier and then just doze a bit until I get restless. I must have heard you typing on that lap top, because I had to get up and get going. Giving the cat a hug and feeding her comes first, but then I sit down to see what you have been contemplating on this Sunday morning. <br />I do not have vivid dreams, and if I do, they are never pleasant, so I have to work to shake them off.<br />This morning my dozing time was filled with thoughts about Star Wars. We just finished watching all of the previous episodes and will now go see the new movie soon. Star Wars is big with my kids and grand kids.<br />As you will no doubt see on Facebook later, today I am going to the Seahawks game! Jill has season tickets, three of them, and Irene doesn't want to go, so for this last home game, I will be going with Jill and Isaac. <br />Go Hawks! And Happy New year, with its precious additional minutes of daylight!Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
