CLING NOT...FLY FREE

Blinding flash of the obvious: This is my time for finding myself in 80...old age is not a harbinger of all that is not good...it is not hard...it is not anything that it wasn't at age 20 except for my attitude about it...an attitude of hope in positive expectation is more likely at 20, but 80 years of experience tempers that lively expectation...it does not need douse the fire! It needs turned over to God, that higher power within me. It is only through the gift of long-lived experience that I can turn it over for God has come to my aid repeatedly...daily if I but paid attention. That is what I must needs look to now. It is not out there I need look...not another BFF, not another lunch buddy, not another gossip pal that I need...want, yes, and that's ok, but I need focus on the fact that 80 is my open door to flying free. As my beloved David told me all those years ago, Cling to nothing, fly!

God is so good to me...and to you.

Thank you.
