"We broke up last night and all I had to do was to throw his toothbrush in the garbage." She said.

Twin Sisters

Yesterday I ran into a twin sister who had just celebrated their 86 birthday. They were dressed alike. Both were wearing navy blue pants, white shirt and red scarves. Their blond hair were meticulously styled. One of the sister appeared to have more disappointment in her life as she had more wrinkles around her mouth and the sides of her lips were shaped downwards.

They reminded me of my sister and I. One day if we are lucky enough to live that long, we also will loss all of our youth and beauty and will have wrinkles all over our face.

I probably will be the one with more wrinkles because I have had many heartbreaks in my life. But despite that I take it easy and I have been desensitized to disappointments now. I believe that anything is possible and nothing, absolutely nothing, surprises me any more. So maybe my sister would have more wrinkles as she stress about every little thing in life.

What would be one advise that you guys can give me? I asked the twins.

The one who seemed more disappointed in life said, “ Don’t take life so seriously.”
Enjoy. It is over before you know it. Said the other twin.

Feelings

It is amazingly sad that as you grow older you become more and more cautious not only with your feelings but even with expressing them.

Innocence

So how does one losses its innocent? Is it at certain age? Is it when you lose your virginity? Is it when you start lying to others? Is it when your heart is shattered to pieces? Is it when you are in the society and you have to become a wolf just to survive? Is it when you lose something so dear to you?
So when is it? How is it?

2007 in New York

I always wanted to spend a new year in New York and here I am. It's beautiful and gray with all the Christmas lights on.
I was so touched by number of phone calls that I received to wish me a happy new year in New York time and not California time. I had tears in my eyes. It's a blessing to be loved by others. I was happy that I'm surrounded by good loving people around me.
I love you all.

On the plane to New York

On the way to New York I was sitting next to a middle age gentleman in the airplane. The flight was at 10:45 at night. I was getting myself ready to take a nap as the plane was taking off. I took my glasses off, wrapped a blanket around me and closed my eyes. I felt an uncomfortable energy from the man who was sitting next to me. I opened my right eye and looked at him from corner of my eye without moving. He was about mid fifties, tall, blue eyes, small nose, white hair and pale face. He was squeezing his face so hard that could see every little wrinkle around his left eye. His eyes were closed with his feast rapped around his legs.

Are you ok? I asked.
He grabbed my hands and said something really quickly that I did not understand before I even finished my question. He was afraid of flying.
He has a son and a daughter who is a student at Santa Cruz University. His wife left him 2 years ago after 25 years of marriage for another lesbian.
