Either I am too busy to afford the time or life is mundane and I choose not to bore you with it.
Where to start?
Happy New Year. Let's discuss resolutions. I always resolve to be a better man but I am afraid I am who I am and a work in progress....I will keep at it. I have made some resolutions, however.
I have embraced Facebook and all the evils that come with it.....the reason being is that it has enabled me to reach out and get in touch with individuals, friends and relatives that I grew up with and catch up, so to speak. So I resolve to continue to reach out to my past....you are richer than you think.
I met a man last summer, a neighbor. You would think you would know your neighbors but we are who we are. I had noted to him that he had a large dent in the hood of his Honda Civic...he began to regal me with the story and how it had come to be.
He said "you see, I don't see as well as I used to because I am blind in one eye". Being curious I asked how he lost his vision and he stated that a couple of years ago he was in Antarctica and slipped on a glacier hitting his eye and surrounding orbital bone etc. "The Russian troller", he stated, "being used as a base camp only had eye drops so medical treatment was weak at best".
Starting to do the math I asked how old he was and he told me 90 years old. So in my head I am thinking that when he was 88 he was having such and adventure that most would only dream of.
This drives two resolutions: firstly, get active now....don't wait till it is too late and secondly stop dreaming and do.
So those are my three resolutions.
Promise to post soon.
Later
