"THE DELICIOUS TRUTH ABOUT GETTING OLDER!" :D

...is that you have toothily- nibbled a chunky part of life enough to know the good stuff! Yep, I have nibbled, munched and digested year after year's sizzling sizable meaty portion of days. Some  years I imbibed to the brim with gusto', others I puked to the gut. If you are my age, by now we both know life is all slightly piquant, a little bit pickly, maybe bitter a bite or two, bland sometimes, and all too sweet and spicy- a whole saucy cauldron of boiling umami! 

No, this is not about food, - although I'd have to admit, the pic below was truly cathartic yumminess...- but more of a tasteful conclusion that older means....
you finally know what choiced - cuts are, the best portions of life to go for! 

With this thought, I now dig in to the coming months of my very new delectable year. I hold the power to pepper and spice, slice and dice, broil, grill, saute my days! 

50 is zesty....it is delectable, mouthwatering, appetizing, tasty, flavorful, toothsome, palatable, succulent, luscious, scrumptious, delish, yummy, finger-licking, lip-smacking, melt-in-your-mouth, 
delightful. exquisite, lovely, pleasurable and .....divine! 

I look forward to days where I can be described as..."A delicious vivaciousness stole over her."

Nugget Thoughts and Seneca

This was taken April last year at the Jacuzzi Winery if I'm not mistaken ( or was it the other winery, actually).  I believe lovely pictures are captured pieces of one's inner heart heaven. I say this because of the realizations the first couple of months of the year have dished me.

We are on our own journey in spite of all relational companions we have with us. This sounds like an archaic thought, common knowledge I suppose. However, when the raw spirit of a certain truth springs in you, there comes attached a nutty nugget that pushes you to grow.

And in there spouts the niggling question: how much growth have I accomplished? The question doesn't bid the term - 'success' - which is trite, subjective and relevant to materialistic perceptions and prejudices. It is inner growth, a genuine by -your- guiding strength assessment of how much of life I have shaped to the degree that I can stand on my own influence.

How many thoughts are my thoughts, not mere parroting of others. How much brawn is of my own, not merely siphoned from another (which reduces one to a social parasitic crutch). How much of my laughter, smile, joy and happiness stems from my own storage of juice of goodness, not funneled from bleached circumstances and organized events.

And as Seneca has said, : "I will keep constant watch over myself and - most usefully - put each day up for review. For this is what makes us evil - that none of us looks back upon our own lives. We reflect upon only that which we are about to do. And yet our plans for the future descend from the past."

2018 The Year of ZEST!

RoselleQuin #ootd #maldita #michaelkors #skagen #evernew #guess

It's going to be "art a day" no if's no buts!

2018 has a zesty come on for me with all the juiciness and overflowing feels of creativity.  I've stomped the dust off my boots from all eeks' of the past; forward and inspired is my aura.

Let me thank you though, 2017!!You were such a sweetheart of a year, truly. Not that you didn't have a freak side...but so what? The entirety of your days was magnanimously love filled. Yes, and I feel the charm bomb flooding through the coming days and months! It is sweet and spice and every conceivable nice. And if there are sour days, well, heck'...I'll sit them down and talk them to behave. Life's short to be moping about or complaining, specially now that I'm a couple of months to half a century, eeeeks..that sounded archaic, hahaha! 😀

 Anyways, I have got me the young feel vibes so I'll ride on that. It's health and fun and art and gratitude, and just pure love. Got no time for anything else. Ciao!
