WE change and ageing is a kind of shock to the brain. I find it kind of interesting to age since no one ever told me what it would be like. I will be 80 before the month of January is over. Looking forward to January thaw if we get one.
My younger me definitely had a different list than today's list. The things like you that I wanted changed remind me today that I survived and I'm still surviving with less desire of changes and more gratitude.
I would never have guessed you're 80 years old reading your blog entries. You're definitely young at heart.
The fires are horrific. I agree the fires are definitely showing us how easily our lives can change. Man's illusion of being indestructible cannot surpass mother nature.
I'm so sorry. I hope this time turns out better. My daughter is an alcoholic but alcohol free for 4 years now with the help of AA. She lives not far from her meeting place and goes often. Somehow she knows when she needs to go more often and does that. She has a good sponsor and I am so proud of her (she'll be 60 this year and has 2 adult children that she has reunited with recently). She tells me one has to be at the very bottom to realize the need to climb up. Of course, that bottom is different for different people, but she did "try" AA several times before "it took". Best wishes to you and your family.
If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.
Day 3656 November 7, 2024
We're all going to pass at some point in time, which piece of your own writing would you like to be remembered by/with. If not a piece of writing what other remembrance would you choose?
Ha, great prompt, to which I have no answers. My Portfolio currently stands at 541 items.
Each entry is one I must have thought was worthy at the time of entering, but selecting one particular piece would be too big an ask.
As a whole, I may be convinced to believe, the portfolio itself is proof of what I’ve been doing for all these years, and wouldn’t mind being remembered for.
Each time I receive a review for a story I might have written some years before, I cringe when I spot glaring errors or in spelling or grammar. So as I would no longer be here when my portfolio is being read I’m not about to spend weeks going through each item and editing to spare my embarrassment.😩
