Something low-pressure at first, light dinner or lunch. I love to try new-to-me restaurants, especially ethnic foods.

To maintain a sense of humor, compromise. I don't always have to be right.

I have not attended regularly in the last few years, though have begun to wander back more often. My basic belief in the Creator (and all that means to us as Adventists in the "last days") is still strong. I feel it is a privilege to be a player on this "stage of the universe" and am honored to have a part in the final climactic resolution of the story of how good triumphs over evil..the greatest story ever told! In my younger years, I had some encounters with demon harrassment, and am glad to say that with much prayer, I am no longer afraid to live alone, no longer controlled by the power of a being that knows how to manipulate. It has "left the building"..lol. That experience did as much for strengthening my belief in guardian angels, in a God who cares for us as individuals.

Find a place to settle, maybe buy a house, travel to Ireland/Scotland/England, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand. My daughter, age 35, has muscular dystrophy, and lives in Florida. She would like to relocate to Portland, OR, and though she prefers to live independently, she may need to live with me initally. So I may need to relocate to Portland at some point. She is very intelligent, funny, doesn't complain about her lot in life. She always takes pride in her appearance and has great taste in everything. I hope to grow up to be like my daughter! ;-)
