When? he asked. When does middle age end and old age begin?

"When" he asked, " when does middle age end and old age begin?"

It took awhile to recover from his question.

Still Crazy After All These Years

 Well hello!

I'm posting here today to keep this blog alive. It's been awhile a long while a cycle even  almost 7 years.

You'll be relieved to know I removed  27 posts that detailed my  diet when doing the Whole 30 Diet. theses no one who needs to see that! It was useful and helpful and I am glad it 's over.

SO about that 7 year thing... why is 7 years a cycle? hmmm

Also those books on the side panel-good books, I think I will read them again. At least some of them will get a redo!

Dying

It's not something I fear. 
A lingering painful death- absolutely something I fear when I think about it, but I seldom do. 

Any yet here I am on the downhill slide and death is rearing it's head around me. An acquaintance invited me to be participate in a 13 day  Death Awareness Primer. I declined. A friend has asked me to be her executrix. I accepted. The reasons  for these decisions are very personal. In the first situation I feel no need to prepare for death. Emotionally I need no preparation, spiritually I need no help. For me it is over  and this is one trip I don't need to pack for! In the second instance while my acceptance is dispassionate my reaction is fueled by love and admiration.

My friend of many decades is a woman of some small means. She has built a company and her wealth and she has a legacy to leave. She lives her life as a single person. That she has asked me to ensure her  kindness and contribution is remembered is an honour I gladly accept. That I can provide her with comfort  knowing her final wishes will be respected is a small gift that I can give to her and it makes me happy to know I can so easily do this.

More deadly thoughts soon.

I will post today

I will post today because it is a good habit.
Sounds silly, but I always intend to post and don't. I will make it a habit to note the ideas I have so at the very least, I will have an idea or thought to share. Today, of course, my mind is empty of thoughts on aging.

Springtime

I went into my night time bedroom. The darkness it smelled sweet. My curtains had captured the sunshine and held it there to wait for me. Breathe deep.
