A Beginning

Today, I enter the world of blogging. I suppose this is the same as journalling. I get to ramble on and on. You see, I'm ADD with a lot of passion so I get really excited about a thought, which quickly leads to another thought, and that reminds me of something else. Get the idea?

My daughter is a natural at blogging. She's a deep thinker trying to live a simple life in today's rapidly paced world. Wow, that sounds stressful to me.

Speaking of me, I'm about 2 weeks away from my 63rd birthday and trying to age gracefully. I'm doing so gratefully, that's for sure. What's it they say, "It's no fun getting old, but it beats the alternative." But gracefully... I don't know exactly what that means. I suppose that's what I'll learn about with each passing day.

If you're not old enough to have had this realization on your own, I can assure you it is amazing how the aging of your mind does not coincide with the aging of your body. I used to say that your mind doesn't age, but that isn't exactly true. I can tell some difference between how my thought processes work now as compared to the way they did in my 'youth'. Some of my likes and dislikes have changed ( but ,then again, they always have and rather rapidly) and my perspective has changed, but too often I 'feel' the same as I did many years ago.

So, as I progress through this process of 'getting old' ,I invite you to travel with me and maybe have a giggle or two at my take on the experience.
