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. |
| Today was a windy cold day outside. I did not venture outside much. I stayed in and worked my miniscule internet business. I crossed 2300 listing today. It will not feed the habit but it helps. I do want to write too the following prompt. PROMPT November 15. 2020 What does “a good life” mean to you? At the beginning Three score and Ten +90, At birth I was not supposed to survive, BUT I had a ace in the whole, God was looking over my shoulder way back then, Blessing me. I was hurriedly baptized Catholic, But I am still here and God has continued too bless me every day. And I give Thanks for that. There have been trials and I am not yet what I need to be be, BUT I have had a Good life. My thoughts on this, On a Good life is that No one else can Judge and say He Had for certain a Good Life. Know one walks In your shoes and can know how you feel. The observations of someone else's life can be misleading. I am the only one that can make that judgement call. For me a good life is being SATISFIED with that life what ever that my be. It is different for each one of us. In my mind to be satisfied to to find BALANCE in one life, To shoot for a balance of TIME and Money. One is not good without the other. To have balance in raising a family. Being not too hard, Not too soft, Raising children that know how to stand on their own, Being trained to raise their own families. There needs to be balance in Work and Recreation, I still need help with that. but with dare I say retirement I am getting better. If at this time I can say I am satisfied with what my life has been, I have had a Good Life. I will have some regrets at the end everyone does I suspect, But with God walking with me and carrying me at times, It has been a Good Life and anyone is welcome to say so. |
