Just Getting Over A Cold....

At the age of fifty two I'm trying to take things a little less seriously.

I've been working and saving money for a full thirty years now.

I've been through a divorce and a cancer diagnosis.

But I am still here.

My mother recently turned eighty years old and her mental powers just aren't what they were.

Well...getting older...what can I say?

December 5th....

....And counting!

On we go on we go.

When I was a child my parents continually stated "The More Thing Change The More Things Stay The Same."

I am now over fifty and I fully understand my personal dislike of the phrase.

To me it meant I was never going to change and would continue to be a social reject into young adulthood and beyond.

Is this a fair statement? Maybe not....but it was the reality as I saw it.

INTO NOVEMBER....

After the Halloween parties conclude the cold weather begins and it is time to contemplate the holiday season and subsequent new calendar year.

2018 will bring me changes...more significant than any of the previous ten years.

But I am convinced I am equal to the challenges and will welcome new opportunities.

Bye for now!

SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENED ON THURS. OCT. 12, 2017

My weekday gym has a new instructor teaching dance on Thursday nights.

And she did a very good class!

I'm looking forward to more!

FREE AT LAST FREE AT LAST...

...but what constitutes freedom?

When I divorced at age thirty-eight my goal was to be a millionaire at age fifty.

I didn't make it; I didn't achieve this milestone until age fifty-one.

I will turn fifty-two years old next week and I'm no closer to happiness that before.

But what constitutes happiness?

Peace of mind?

Does that result in freedom or happiness?

Or both?

Here I Am!

Fifty one years old! A full thirty years a few month after university graduation.

I am here I am here I am here!

HERE WE ARE INTO AUGUST...

Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley.

I remember hearing about it on the automobile radio.

Days are getting shorter and the school buses are out again.

Just glad I no longer have to exist in that atmosphere.

In my fifties in my fifties in my fifties.

And still striving towards that elusive happiness!
