Three Score and Ten the Introduction, Well here we go, After 50 years I am going to take another attempt at writing. The first time was the Palmer writers correspondence school in 1969. The writing will be not a book that will be written with the idea of being published, But will be a writing of thoughts unencumbered by possible publishing and monetary gain. This writing will be a hybrid of Journal and Reminisce. It is important to me that the writings are my true thoughts at the time, not influenced by any factor. The writing will try to explain how a 70 year old white, male USA citizen now relates to today's world. Is every oldest generation lost in their own world, that they aged into? What do I see, and feel as I age farther. I know I am not normal as in what this world today would consider normal. But I hope I am in the ball park writing the thoughts of a 70 year old. I hope for you to learn to know who I am, As I search for Who I am at 70+ This work will carry on until I am no longer able to think or write. This will be done on a nearly daily writing interwoven with a life's reminiscing. This writing has been in the planning for 10 plus years. and I have now made it to this starting point. This writing is dedicated to My Wife The Kitten, My family, My grand children, Lukas, Levi, Luis, Lydia and Sonora Pearl. I thank you God that you have allowed me to have your Three Score and Ten Time. |
| I have a rare extra moment of time as I sit here waiting to go to the Medicare health check. Then the trip to the north woods will make a long day. I do need to understand and then put these journal entries most current to the top of the Blog. If you can provide help in that endeavor it is appreciated. {Breaking News, I have it figured out I think] For the time being I will keep the file also making updates as I have in the past. That folder is last entry last, as in a book. just in case you want read the entries in that way. I am feeling somewhat contented this morning. I have been making progress on the Before cold weather outdoor To Do List. I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel and it is not the train. My goal has always been to have all outdoor activities buttoned up and all Ducks lined up before cold weather. That has always been part of my character, Thinking ahead, Planning and being Prepared. I have a quote by Abraham Lincoln Posted, "I will study and get ready and maybe my chance will come" What good advise that is. To be ready for the worst, but Pray for and expect the best, To be positive that God is walking with you. If you are chasing to find happiness, You will never catch it, Happiness needs to be found in the NOW Moment. |
| Three Score and Ten + Day 35 The cat Luna is pounding on the door wanting to come in and sit on my lap. I better open the door. Tomorrow It is the trip north to the house pulling the boat. But first I have the annual Medicare Health Check. They won't approve my prescription if I do not do it. You could call it blackmail. I am not too keen on the medical industry. So much money involved, ethics and conflicts of interest. It is now a big money business. I try to stay as far away as I can. Do the research and look after my own health. I like the doctor I see, But I told him he is my Chief Medical Advisor. I want is advise and input, But I make the final choices. He is good with that. I sure do not look forward to that appointment with mask and all that complication. This will be the first Blog entry and not a folder entry. I made the up grade this morning. I hope it has a good choice. I find this site interesting and challenging. I will be a Newbie for a long time. An old dog does not learn very easily. I like writing this journal as it focuses me in the evening to think about the days events. But I want to convey more then events. How do I think? I am realizing I am having a hard time putting thoughts to paper, The ideas and concepts are not coming to the top. Is it age, or being tired, or not knowing what to write. Maybe the mind is like a clock that needs a starting spin to get rolling, the right stimulus. I live in my mind, I should know it better. The little dog is lying on his back waiting to go up stairs by mom. Luna the cat is already up there to get his nightly treat. Talk about some spoiled pets. I do not know if I will be able to write tomorrow, I may lack the time to do so, We shall see. I wish you all a Good Evening. |
