On The Eve of Sixty....

....here I am!

I don't know what I expected at sixty.

Just not this...

On the eve of bliss.....

Sixty sixty guess who is nearly sixty!

Into July

 My brother's wife died at the end of May.

That is a blunt reminder that we are all immortal.

When I was a child I frequently confused "immoral" and "immortal."

Go figure.

I also confused "brought" and "bought."

Maybe this was a mental block.

I Am Here And I Will Live....

 I possess a certain amount of survivor guilt.

Why am I here when so many others have died????

I am an atheist; I leaned towards the agnostic side for several years then my 2010 cancer diagnosis at age forty-four tipped the balance for me.

As a result, following my 2018 stroke there was nobody to receive my anger.

I am firm in my belief that there are no deities!

The above is not anything to upset over.

It merely is  REALITY!

I don't always relish hiding my atheism.

I have accepted that it is one of the requirement toward harmonious relationships with other homo sapiens.

Tbere are days when I fervently wish I were not a member of the said species.

However unlike to protagonist of Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" I never change overnight.....

A Death In The Family....

 ...Too soon....too soon!

It Is May!

 Is the entire month one gorgeous holiday?

Does every maiden wish that her lad would be a cad?

Six Months From Today I Will Achieve My Sixtieth Birthday.....

 The Big Six Oh!
