Getting older (yearly, daily)
Getting cloudier (mentally)
Getting weaker (physically)
Getting stronger (spiritually)
Getting clearer (what’s important)
Getting easier? (understanding)
Getting discernment (good vs evil)
Getting reflections (that matter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoping something I write may matter to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wish I could collect all my senior thoughts in one place, as in get it all together to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Get it all together” is not a reality for me—and so, is not a goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I write, and I share, as meaning comes during this time (time that often does not include understanding, for a time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I become more comfortable accepting each day for what it offers, and for what I have to offer.
Now that takes time, including other ingredients uncomfortable at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
76 is not an excuse, but it is a fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
