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. |
| Well I did it, I took down the 2020 calendar from the library door. it always feels like the final close down to the past year. Next it will be the old year paper work and taxes. I closed up the curtains on the Christmas room. That will now rest until July if I can remember to light up for the 4th. Did a few clean up details, and had to deal with snow. I listened to some older music, Does Phil Harris ring a bell with any of you. I have a habit of when I sort sheet music I listen to some of the music I am sorting. It is easy to do on the internet. What has happened to the music of today? Tomorrow I am hope to do some Ice Fishing down here. It looks like it will be a decent day. I did not bring the shelter down here from up north at this time, only a open sled. But that looks like it will work tomorrow. Going out and ice fishing gives me a lift at this time of year. I will let you know how it all works out. I wanted to write on the prompt from January one, "What’s something GOOD that happened in 2020?" I had to stop and give this good thought since last evening. It is normally easier for me to find a silver lining in things, 2020 is tough. I think the question is dealing with the bigger picture for the year. Not me or my families personal year, which was satisfactory, No real downers. One silver lining I see was people may have rediscovered home life and it's rewards. The finding of pleasure, satisfaction in a good job done well at your home. Maybe I hope more houses became homes with the owners own personalities. I hope and suspect that many people became closer to God. That he indeed walks with them. That God walking with them is the difference between Hope and Despair in a rough year. I think at least some people have come to realize that our news media and social media set our cultural social agenda, and what and how it is discussed. It is in there perceived interest to make a news narrative, not just report the news. Their show of what they want and the length they will go to achieve it should have been apparent to many. That new awareness is a good thing going into 2021. I saw more interest in outdoor endeavors, Spending time with God's nature, More exercise. more healthy activities. I hope there was a renewed serious awareness of health issues. If there can be silver linings for the year 2020 I can have positive optimism for the year 2021, and I do. |
