The feeling was amazing indeed. The first night was the scariest but after that I found so much joy in each task I tried. I've surprised myself on more than one occasion, Yes I can do anything I set my mind to doing.

I can’t say I’d be tempted to go camping on my own, so I think you’re very brave. It would have given you so much confidence knowing you succeeded. Afterwords you must have felt as if there was nothing you couldn’t do on your own.

With the cold temperatures we've been having this far, I suspect that person wouldn't be leaving their house.

I don't know about you, but I've spent a week with no other contact, I found it very enlightening because I discovered how capable I was of doing things myself. This was after my divorce and my ex telling me that I would never go camping or kayaking without him, I was too stupid to do it on my own. I felt like I had a point to prove to myself. Unlike Hanks in the movie, in the back of my head I knew I could reach out and someone would come but I didn't give in I persevered and made it. I burned dinner once, over-turned my kayak once and the tent fell done on me the first night but ultimately I really enjoyed the silence.

I'm glad you're able to gather with your family. It's so hard to get everyone together these days. Hug that grandson tightly!

In response to "Changes "

Yes it’s certainly an interesting time, but watching myself deteriorate each day is not something I relish.

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.

In response to "Fire"

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.

Ouch, and so sorry for you and everyone! I hope she realizes what's ailing her and takes care of it herself real soon. Best of luck with her!

Improve yourself or die

"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"
Day 3102 May 23, 2024
Prompt: If you're not improving, youre falling behind. Write about this in your Blog entry today.

Oh, dear, this prompt makes me feel slightly stressed! Must I really keep on improving?
Am I falling behind? I didn’t know I was even in a race.

This is the very reason many people are feeling the need to visit doctors to get their antidepressant medication. They’re under siege from a society which is constantly telling them they need to lift their game, earn more money, have better behaved kids and the perfect marriage or job. No, not jobs, careers are the thing you must have. It’s no longer enough to go to work and earn a wage, you must use any free time improving yourself. Get fitter, stop drinking/smoking, get thin.
OMG I’m tired now. I’m off for a nap.💤
