MUM'S THE WORD

                                  MY HOROSCOPE SAYS CAN IT.  KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.  MY ANXIETY IS EASING.  WHAT ANXIETY?  I'M RICH,BEAUTIFUL,CHARMING AND MODEST.  HOW COULD I BE ANXIOUS?
                                    MAYBE THAT'S WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN WRITING EACH MORNING LIKE JULIA CAMERON TELLS YOU TO DO IN"THE ARTIST'S WAY."  SHE'S MARTIN SCORSESE'S EX-WIFE.  SHE'S HAD A FEW NERVOUS BREAKDOWNS,SO MAYBE I DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW HER ADVICE RELIGIOUSLY.
                                      JULIA CAMERON WAS FRUSTRATED THAT SCORCESE WAS SO SUCCESSFUL AND CREATIVE AND SHE WASN'T.  I BET SHE LIKED "HUGO" SCORCESE'S LATEST FILM  WHICH IS AN ELEGY TO PARIS AND EARLY FRENCH FILM.  IT IS HIS MOST CREATIVE AND INVENTIVE WORK WRITTEN BY JONATHAN LOGAN.
                                      MY SOLITARY ART CAREER SEEMED TO SET ME OFF OR MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING I ATE OR A SPIDER BITE.  SOMETHING PUT ME INTO A FUNK.  TWO DAYS AT THE BEACH HELPED ME RECOVER.   I GUESS IT WAS AGORAPHOBIA-THAT'S A FEAR OF STAYING HOME.  ANGORAPHOBIA IS A FEAR OF FUZZY SWEATERS.  WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN FLORIDA USUALLY BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS WARM.

ROOM WITH A VIEW

                                          I'M AT MY NEW WRITING DESK WITH A VIEW OF THE SIXTH FAIRWAY.  I ALWAYS WANTED A DESK BY THE WINDOW IN THE MASTER BEDROOM SO I COULD WRITE.  IT'S TAKEN ME THREE YEARS TO SET THAT UP.  MY HUSBAND SLEEPS LATE SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO WRITE UP HERE IN THE MORNING.  SO JULIA I GUESS I'LL BECOME AN AFTERNOON WRITER. 
                                        MY FRENCH STATION FROM MIMS,FLORIDA IS ON THE RADIO.  THEY PLAY THE SAME SONGS OVER AND OVER.  CHARLES AZNEVOUR'S "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY" AND "OH AFRICA"  ARE PLAYED DAILY.  BUT THE STATION HELPS ME REMEMBER MY FRENCH VOCABULARY FROM MY MASTERS DEGREE IN THE 1960'S.  OOH LA-LA CA C'EST UNE HISTOIRE ANCIENNE.
