It is STILL good to be alive! Another year older, I have reached the age extolled in the Beatles’ lyrics “will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four”. Recognition of the passage of time and the fragility of the human condition has more relevance to me today than ever before. A few years ago I considered my status and felt that time was slipping away, and my life seemed to have lost its focus. Now I find I am reenergized and still have a contribution to make, and possibly another twenty years of life. My circle of friends and acquaintances has increased exponentially.
Of course I’m STILL sixty four years old and nothing changes the reality of that. One concern is maintaining my ability to reason and my memory function. To this end I write these little epistles to apparently a very rare audience! So if you are reading this you are part of my coterie! Of course the job quest is still there and unfulfilled, but there are developments. Progress has been made, if only in my psyche.
My resolution continues to be to put into practice my better intentions, a practice that is elusive. I start each day with a germ of a plan of what I wish to do and find seldom do I accomplish it. This is an area definitely in need of improvement. Execution is not everything but far surpasses intention!
So, I get up from this screen to do my exercise, and then fill out another application.
