SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

I'll admit my zeal for Christmas decorating had waned. My sons had moved out and I have no grandchildren. I was shopping on Black Friday a   few years ago. I saw a 6 ft lighted Christmas tree marked down to  $7.00. I thought this must be a mistake! This was an offer I couldn't refuse. I rushed to the  register with  last marked  down tree.  I got home   with  my tree and realized  that I had no  ornaments to go on this tree. I had donated all of them to a  Thrift Store. My recent Christmas  decorations were a wreath  on my doors. I have a tip for Empty  Nesters and Seniors  living alone. Decorate a tree for your own pleasure. I could afford to splurge  on Christmas since I'm retired and my children were grown and gone!!  I could spend  money  collecting expensive ornaments  and other  Christmas tree accessories. I have always loved  theme Christmas trees.  There is a  garden nursery

Amazon.com I have learned to enjoy new types  of music as I have gotten  older. In my younger days, I enjoyed R&B and contemporary  jazz music.  In later years, I listened to mostly Gospel music. I used to be a faithful Oprah Show watcher. She featured Andrea Bocelli on one of her Christmas shows. He only  sang for a few minutes but I was blown away by his amazing  voice. I had never listened to opera or understood the  Italian  language.  I immediately went to the music store  and bought  Sacred Arias. I played this CD several times a day. I have bought other CD's by him since that time.  Sacred Arias is  still my favorite  and it still gives me goosebumps. I saw Andrea Bocelli's interview with Gayle King last week. Andrea and his son Matteo sang their new song, Fall on Me. This was definitely a "Wow" moment! I'll be online this week looking to  see if their is CD available. **PLEASE EXCUSE SYSTEM PROBLEMS WITH FONT TODAY Andera &
