Ten Brilliant Things I Experienced After 75

1. Toasted sandwiches of cheddar cheese covered with grated beets placed on seeded whole grain bread.
2. Listening to the funny stories of senior citizens’ lives in a writing class.
3. Two bright orange butterflies hanging fluttering unusually long over the patio in clear sight of my sunroom
4. Dreaming about the dead of a snowy winter while taking a nap on a hot summer’s day’s.
5. Re-reading the poem on the statue of Liberty’s base.
6. Finding buds on the night blooming epiphyllum that I thought would die when I moved here last November
7. The realization that it is highly likely Trump is suffering from a kind of dementia and cannot help but display it.
8. The scent of newly picked tomatoes
9. The scent and pliable feel of newly picked green beans
10. My favorite perfume’s scent, that of roses and violets.
