All is well as can be with me.    I keep moving closer to that ninth decade with very few of my long time friends left on this planet to accompany me while I'm here.  I continue my "rightsizing" activities at a snails pace which contributes to why I haven't resumed writing here.  

Perhaps in the significant year to come I will be unable to resist returning here to write espousing my views on whatever topics capture my attention.   

Meanwhile, I continue to enjoy my family and indulging  myself in the ordinary necessities and self-entertaining activities of daily living which give our lives meaning.  

Wishing for peace everywhere with good health, prosperity, a life filled with happiness and  only the best for each of you in this momentous year to come!

  1. Long time no see in the blog community. I'm glad to see it has nothing to do with declining health. Have a great 2024.

  2. I've missed you and your insights Joared, but understand our mutual rattling along with declining energy and all that goes with it, not least the disappearance of our fellow foot soldiers.
    A brilliant New Year 2024 to you and give us the odd wee post if you can.

  9. Yes, aging does bring changes we do'n't always anticipate. Who departs life first is not always the oldest spouse though can seem more likely.

    As for blogging, you don't need to feel guilty. It's not unusual for some of us to take breaks for so many reasons and others may simply decrease the frequency of their posts, or write them and comments erratically.
