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.

In response to "Changes "

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!

In response to "Difficult Conversations "

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.

Promet: Melancholy
Melancholy, which afflicts the creative types, was around in antiquity and is still present in civilizations that think of themselves as modern.
What do you think melancholy is?

Melancholy is a mental illness which is now called depression. I like the sound of the word Melancholy. It even sounds sad. It sounds romantic, a word which might describe a maiden from history. When I hear the word I never think it is used to describe an illness or condition a man might experience.
It’s a word one would use in romantic poetry, when the heroine is pining for her lost lover perhaps.

There was a film called Melancholia. Apparently it’s very difficult to watch. It’s about depression, mental illness and the end of the world. Not one I’ll be rushing out to see.
Perhaps it should be used more to describe the feeling of despair which so many people are suffering from today.
