I like to think that things are returning to a new normal. Masking restrictions where I am are easing and people seem more relaxed and making travel plans. I want this to be true and to remain so as well. I’ve gotten back on my bike and feel more like my old self (I am 65 this year) which means I still think like I was 40.
I am in year 3 of my return to league bowling. I have come full circle trying expensive balls, shoes and glows and now find success using a cheap plastic ball. Last week I bowled a 79 with the cheap ball… but instead of getting frustrated… I just adjusted. Then I bowled a 202 followed by a 199, still using the low end plastic ball. I learned to trust my self… I first bowled in the 1970’s… I just relaxed and bowled. I had learned something knew… trust one self… believe in your experience and skills… something I should have learned long ago but I just learned. Which goes to show what can happen if you keep learning and trying new things… even when its a old self.
I saw this old joke: “If you are attacked by a gang of clowns… go for the juggler” and I laughed. Then I thought we are all caught up in a media circus… clowns all over the place. I tend to overthink… I start looking for the juggler!!! When I should just laugh and move on.
Another year ends and a new year full of new hopes and fresh experiences is about to begin. Best wishes to all as everyone transitions to the new…
It seems to happen so often… a talent gone before their time. People who have access to the best care…
When the water main in front of my house burst, I thought about how my yard was going to be torn up… I thought about “no water”… I thought “why me”… but the city responded quick and I thought “this is the way government should work”!
When life takes a turn toward the dark like it did in a church in South Carolina… my thoughts turned to the church and holding on to plow… When the way gets dark as night, I know the lord will be my light… Fear of the future and all the terror in the world is never a reason to add more…
Fear is like a chain on a person’s soul… and the only chain that a man can stand is the chain of hand on hand…
In the face of evil I hold on to good…
LMN, Lifetime, Hallmark… I admit it! I watch the xmas movies…. the tree that saved Christmas… Grandpa for Christmas… everyone wanting snow…
It why I bought “the wizard” way back when. It became a keeper because of its quality.
You never know what a typewriter will inspire you to type.
