From My Mind to....

by JACE

Rated: GC · Book · Personal · #1503918

A blog of no uncertain musings. What goes on in my mind is often a source of wonder to me.

My mind and my life are wondrous things ... as are yours, I'm sure. I have more slips of paper and pages of notebooks with musings and thoughts than I really know what to do with. Someone, actually several someones, have suggested I start a blog ... or a journal as a means of focusing some of this mental energy.

To be honest, I don't even know what the difference between a 'journal' and 'blog' is--or if there even is a difference. Read on, my friends, and you can judge for yourself whether it even matters.

And so ....

Mee at my daughter's wedding.

I'm JACE. Yep ... that's me! And somewhere in all my writings my last name may be posted. But I'll just leave it at Jace for right now. I'm 71 years old and heading full tilt to 72. It's strange that while I'm going through some rather serious medical issues, I still consider myself to be in the prime of my life--pretty good shape physically AND mentally, though I don't run for competition anymore

. I love to ... dang, if I put this stuff here, I won't have anything for my blog.

Guess you just have to be patient until such stuff leaks out.

Perhaps 2026, having embraced my retirement, will see more participation in my journaling efforts.

Well, one can hope....

Sometimes I find the streaks to be more stressful than anything. There is a point at which gamification can work against you.

I'm curious to see if you'll have a (new) favorite genre when all is said and done with this reviewing exercise.

, Jeanette looked up the word 'nodule.' If we can believe the internet, 90-95% of nodules are considered benign. I figure since they didn't want to test it immediately, I'll survive until May 8th.

Left lung, huh? Maybe we're brothers from different mothers.

@JACE

Something else we have in common, and something I had forgotten about, that lung nodule. Apparently I have one on my left lung. A Biopsy was performed about 10 years ago, it is benign. Thank the Lord for small favors there. No one has said a word about it in all my tests, I find myself wondering if somehow it disappeared. I doubt it. No doctor has mentioned it since I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. It does make me wonder now.

- I pray you receive a good report. And if you still need surgery, that you recover fully and quickly.

I'm with you, Jace. What happens, happens. I agree with your reasoning concerning the wait and see. However, waiting is the worst. My 2 month wait ends tomorrow when I see the surgeon.

As a wife, I can confirm that it's part of our role to be concerned, ask questions, and worry. Sending good vibes your way!

Absolute Insanity - so, you want to win a Nobel Peace Prize and you START A WAR?? Um, is this a parallel Universe?!

And now the UK has been dragged in to it, despite Kier Starmer (for once) standing strong on his point because they are throwing drones are our base in Cyprus.

Nobody wants this war, and nothing good will come of it. Do we learn nothing. No wonder aliens don't want to be our friends,

Day Trip

We're expecting sunny skies and 76 degs today in south-central Missouri. I was informed last night, we're taking Jeanette's l'il Mazda Miata convertible out for a day trip to somewhere in Missouri. I don't know where yet.

So, I'm about getting my daily five completed before departing. Catch you tomorrow.
