Three Score and Ten [Now Thirteen

by Fathertymme, "Cold Durry Days"

Rated: 13+ · Book · Biographical · #2232901

Psalm 90:10, "The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong....

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'm glad to see you back. I take spells too for a lot of your same reasons. I like reading about all you do!

Take care and post when you can.

Yesss... I was starting to worry. The sad part of that? I'm spread thin. I get so easily overwhelmed that I don't always make the first effort to keep in touch.

As in... my brother-in-law died August 15th. I found out when I called my sister on the 22nd for her birthday (August 23rd). I don't forget my sister's b-day... I usually just forget to call.

And that's my life. At some point I just throw up my hands. It is what it is.

I'm having computer issues but I use my phone as a hot-spot so that works really well in Thailand. In Montana? We shall see. I may need to cut back and that's not all bad.

Glad to read about the eyes, the fish, and the garden.

Good to see an update. Have you tried an eye-patch? Regardless, you'll need new glasses come August.

At 71 I'm slowing down and being very careful; but, this year in Thailand has helped: not living alone, working out every day, swimming most every day, getting out of bed (number 1 most important task).

I keep track of new routines to establish new habits. "I may be slow but it gets done."

University was up and down for me. My 5th semester (first at U. Kansas) was the best.

Very cold here in Montana. Snow and below freezing temperatures. Thailand is hot and mostly dry. I want to go back a.s.a.p.

My eyes, ears... but I've lost some weight and that helps my legs and climbing the stairs.

It's fabulous that you don't have a retinal disease. Good luck with the cataract surgery when it gets scheduled. Maybe a friend or neighbor would help with the assembly of a new kayak.

Blessings to you and your wife.

In response to "Today A Down Day"

I just blah-blah-blaahg. It really doesn't matter. But it helps me keep track of the days and reminds me that I do accomplish something in spite of my depression.

That has lifted a bit. Coming to Thailand has been challenging, but good mentally. It forces me to pay attention to the present (as my Montana routines are upended) and my future looks very different than a year ago.

Off to Thai language class today. It's a pink day, a Tuesday...

Three Score and Ten + Day 121

The week here is running together. Our biggest exciting event will be going to Madison tomorrow and grocery shopping and picking up at the auction house. I did make a sale over night so there will be a trip to the Post Office today. The little dog is at rest on my lap as I one finger type this entry. I really do not understand why the Little Dog has to be such a bed hog, He just stretches out all over.

My actual work activity today will sorting and marking fishing tackle for the Flea Markets I hope to do this spring, and Summer. I just reasonably purchased four tackle boxes of stuff, so I sort and mark. Some for the Flea market, Some for me, Some for the round file. I am also in the process of listing Little Golden Books for the 40's and 50's on my selling site.

The Positive for to day is I am here and it is not snowing. For mid December the temperature is moderate, Not bad. It is nice and cozy in the office library where I will spend most of the day. I hope you are having a rewarding and satisfying day.
