Still thinking it over

So, since the last entry, I did have the surgery...it was embarassingly easy. What was all the fuss about??? I feel much more fabulous now that it is over...I really think that it was draining energy and making me feel tired and now that is not the case...also helps that I have been SOOOOO careful about diet. Anyway, all excuses for proceeding are ending and I may just have to figure out what my next move is and make it...yikes! I did sign up for two classes at Otis...Embroidery, which I really like a lot and a very exciting new field..Documentary Film Making...I am really excited about the film making class and I already have a subject in mind..I want to feature Hal Cunningham, a friend and fellow Artist who is 97. His age will preclude me from much procrastination, because if I want to do this I better get on it NOW! Anyway, it has been such a long time since I have been really excited about something and think I would want to stay up all night to do it...last time I pulled many all nighters that were not for money was when I was studying painting in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Funny thing that just now, at the library, one of the painting teachers I got a lot from at SMC just walked by and said HI Carole...wow, maybe that is a sign? ya think? I know that our country will be in for big changes in the next years and I guess I will be too. It is time to move and forget that I am 73 and proceed as if the time is forever...that is what Hal does and probably why, at 97, he still goes into the studio and makes his Art every day...even when he broke his hip recently, he sucked it up and did what was needed so he could climb the stairs to his studio to work. Also, I remeber visiting with Beatrice Wood when she was in her late 90's or maybe 100 and feeling the life force in her so strong. She, also, went into the studio every day to make Art. Surely I can make this Libra decision and move along as well. The feeling is of standing on a cliff edge and peering over to see the water below and wondering and wondering if I should just jump in...I even bore myself with these vacilations...I think I should just jump...the water is fine!
