And here are some selections from Natasha's book, Been There, Done That, Doing It Better!

Been There, Done That…


We've been there
done that—
mostly good things
but also mistakes
We've traveled the world
met interesting people
and boring ones
had conversations
that were meaningful
and some best forgotten
We've read books
that changed our lives
walked out of bad movies
danced on tabletops
dreamt big dreams
failed at times
thought a lot
wrote some
exercised too little
had kids and grandkids
inspired some people
offended others
loved well
and grieved losses
We've known good health
and illness
the highs and the lows
We've been there
done that—
and learned a lot on the way
So now
we're doing it better

We are
the re-invented generation
the re-wired
the re-tired
with new tires
ready to keep rolling
We are the geri-actives
the wise old-timers
We're not only senior citizens
we're seasoned citizens
It's when you get over the hill
that you can start to pick up speed

Tea Time


Sometimes at around 5 p.m.
I decide to skip dinner
and I put on my night gown
get a tray
with a cup of tea
toast, and black cherry jam
and climb into bed
somehow feeling
deliciously decadent

Today, All Is Well


Today, all is well
Tomorrow has no guarantees
but today the sun is shining
We got up
and nothing hurt

Today, all is well
The children are healthy
and have jobs
The grandchildren are
getting good grades
in high school and college

Today, all is well
We are sitting with good friends
not worried about the next meal
or where we will sleep tonight

Today, all is well
I don't know about tomorrow
so I stop whatever I'm doing
and appreciate the fact
that today all is well
