Gone With The Wind

You know, I’ve always been one of those people who say they don’t have any regrets in life. And honestly, I’ve meant it every single time. Every twist and turn, every choice and chance, they all shaped my journey, and I’ve been content with where I landed.

But just the other day, something changed. I was sitting there, watching the morning news, when they featured Julie Newmar, that Catwoman from Batman, you know? Can you believe she’s turned 90? She had this interview, all smiles and grace, talking about her flower gardens. And for the first time, this feeling, like a twinge of envy, hit me square in the chest.

I’ve got this retired life now, you see. Photography used to be my game, capturing the beauty in everything, especially the women who deserved to see their own radiance. These days, I’m taking it slow, hanging out with my giggly four-year-old granddaughter and losing myself in books. It’s a life that’s filled with colors, like a canvas waiting for that next stroke of inspiration.

But hearing about Julie Newmar’s lush gardens, it was like a whisper from the future. A reminder that there’s still time to leave a mark, to create something that blooms with beauty. It’s funny how seeing someone else’s garden can make you think about the seeds you want to plant.

So here I am, musing about my retired days, my love for photography, the joy of being a grandma, and the magic that a four-year-old can bring into your life. And I’m daring to imagine the future, envisioning a legacy I’ve yet to create, a masterpiece that’ll make my heart sing.
