Wow! Has it really been nine months since I last posted on this blog? As age creeps up on me I have discovered, the passing of time is about the only thing that is faster now than it was 20+ years ago. Sorry, I can't believe I even suggested age is creeping up on me. Heck aging is a runaway train, a space ship traveling at Mach 100! Next month I will turn sixty and that just can't be. It seems like it was just last year I was fifty!
And genealogy, I'm not so sure it's healthy! Researching ancestors means finding dates of death, burial sites, etc. and frankly it's a bit morbid. And then I fnd myself reading obituaries, looking for a recently deceased relative to add to my family tree and yes, that too is morbid. For me it's not easy growing old and those who say it is better than the alternative, huh? Perhaps it is better than the alternative, but such a statement is akin to preferring to be a little sick versus being a lot sick. No one in their right mind wants to be sick period! And while life seems to be better than death, why settle? Why see the world as it is better to be alive than to be dead? Live life to the fullest and make everyday an adventure, not a chore! I stumbled upon this quote a while back and would like to share it.
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways in a cloud of dust, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Holy Sh*t! What a Ride!"
I plan to be more in touch and will try and add something to this blog at least once a week. Should ANYONE have ANYTHING they would like to contribute, please use the comment portion.
Have a GREAT week,
T Bell
