Sometimes I will end the day with thoughts that are
important to get out. Usually I just
write them and put them in my journal folder.
I have chosen that on occasion I will share them with you Dear Reader.
Early this spring I made an effort to increase my exercise
and activity. I had planned for some
ventures that I have not indulged in a long time. Then in early April a respiratory illness set
in and has yet to let go of me. I am
finally on the mend but I have had little energy other than my day to day
obligations.
In the imposed solitude of this I found that my passion even
for writing flagged which led to me feeling even worse. It made me very aware of the fact that I am
growing older. I do not wish to be one
of those who complain about old age but I can feel subtle changes in my frame
that warm me of a coming winter.
I am not depressed about it but I feel there are so many
things I still wish to do. I have noted
that I am increasingly discontent with some things and that others could be
daily habits and I would love them for life.
I cannot get enough time with my Children and Grand Children.
I have also noticed that I sleep a little longer. This is new and strange to me. The differences remind me of a song from my
youth. As I approach the autumn of life it
challenges me to be more genuine with who I am.
“Do you care what's happening around you? Do your senses
know the changes when they come? Can you see yourself reflected in the seasons?
Can you understand the need to carry on?”
- John Denver

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
