Don't ever get old!

Have you ever had one of those days when your chest is heavy and you can't see your way out of the cave you find yourself in? That's the way I feel today. I can't fulfill my obligation due to circumstances beyond my control. I'm going to keep trying though. But the timing will be wrong by then.

Don't ever get old. Or if you do, keep abreast of the changes, keep your intellect sharp and your spirit strong.

Technology is hard to grasp with a mind that's been learning lessons and experiencing different situations for over 70 wonderful years. Everything is changing too fast.

Yesterday, I read two blogs about being yourself, no matter if you don't fit into the right shoes, or even if you are exposing a weak side of yourself. So here I am. Deep sigh.

Right. Let's get on with the day. Thank you to everyone who bought my book Tidal Surge yesterday. You can scroll down and see the novel and all the others on sale this weekend, one click away from Amazon. Your confidence in my writing ability will act as a lifeguard to keep me afloat until I can swim on my own again. It won't take long. My natural optimism will kick in soon.

I went to the Altamira Caves when I was a kid and I've never forgotten it!

Nobody knows what this world is about but explore and you will find that nearly everything is interesting, if you go deeply enough. :)

Quite true. Life is a mystery, explained only when you reach understanding.

I wish I could put you in contact with my 85 plus year old mother in law. You would enjoy each other, I think. She blazed the trail of "not getting old" she even owns an iPhone. I hope your natural optimism kicks in soon - but until then, you wrote a powerful post. Thank you.

She sounds wonderful, Alana. Great that she's still vital and active.
Right now, I'm feeling a lot better thanks to the kindness of all those concerned in my problem. People always amaze me with their generosity.

Probably Francene you need a day off--or a day out--some chocolate--a long nap--a hug--and I know that your natural optimism will be back. Until then, here's a long-distance hug from me! *hug*
