New Trading Account

I am not very good with computers, but I decided it was time to try to learn to trade online. I have a lovely student who encouraged me. Today I opened an account. In class we decided that I would help her with her writing, and she would help me with my new account. Bartering has been going on for many years, and why not. We each know something that could help the other person. Time will tell if this works. In any case, try something new in your life. Why not!

Fancy Nancy Says: Perk up your life and try something you have never done before. If it does not work out, so what! If it works, then you will have a new skill. I am doing just that. Let me know what you will try next.

Enjoy Each Day !!!

Today I learned some sad news. A friend of mine lost her husband. Life is a gift and we do not know how many years you can enjoy. Tell you family and your friends how important they are in your life. Don't wait to say, " I love you". Tomorrow it could be too late.

Fancy Nancy Says: Our lives are a gift. Each day is a blessing!

Spanish, Interview, and Swim

Today I had my Tues. Spanish class. After three years, I know about three words. Hola, Adeios, and Gracias. I enjoy learning even though I don't retain many of the lessons. You need to use a new language to retain it.

Next, I interviewed a young , new , broker. She would not work out, but like all the others, she is overworked, and does not give any discounts and does not love her job. I will have to learn how to do my own trades online.

After a nap which I need, I did a swim and then talked with a dear friend.


Fancy Nancy Says: As we get older we start to lose our friends. It is hard to have that loss due to illness and old age. Enjoy your family and friends now. Time marches on too quickly.

A Wonderful Massage and Fun Lunch

Today is Monday and I enjoyed a wonderful massage in the morning.I think that a nice massage is a great way to start the day. The woman I use is from Russia and she used to be a doctor there. She runs a spa and works very hard. She gives an excellent massage and I find that it really makes you feel good.

In the afternoon, I took a friend to lunch. My friend has undergone several operations, and she is doing well. She has been very brave and now although her knee is healing, she is having back problems.


Fancy Nancy Says: We need to appreciate life when we are out of pain.

Somtimes You Need Somthing New

One of the assignmentw that I often give to my nursing home students is to add something new to your life. I think we all benefit by an addition that makes sense. I hope to learn more about online investing to perhaps avoid the need for the stockbroker. In any case I like to learn and why not.

Fancy Nancy Says" Open your world and learn something new. Try it, it could be fun for you.

Learing About New Forms of Investing

Lately, I have spent a lot of time interviewing brokers. They don't want me since I only have a small account. I am learning that I may not need them. My daughter suggested I look into an index fund. My friend suggested I could set up a small account online and run it myself. I have to do more homework to find out what will work for me.


Fancy Nancy Says: If is is going to be, it is up to me. Yes, I need to learn more to find out what will work for me, even if it does not work for the broker. This theory applies to many things in life. Do your homework.

Another Fun Teaching Day

A delightful class today. My students are so interesting. It is a pleasure to do what you enjoy for work. If you enjoy it, it is pleasure , not work.

Had a lovely conversation with my daughter . She is a speech pathologist and she is great at what she does.

We are lucky when we have a nice family I am proud of my three kids and my six grandkids. It is so nice to see them achieving and enjoying a good life.

Fancy Nancy Says: Count your blessings!
