Jack is 89, but he’s not sitting around doing nothing, he still handles building projects, like mine. In fact, it was evident that Jack loves his building projects, for their own sake. Photo, with permission, by FitOldDog
“But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love. ” Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, on love.
Hi folks, thanks for coming by!

It’s better to die alive, than to experience a living death in your later years, if you can arrange it. Best of luck!
As I wander across the surface of this lovely planet, sometimes aware, sometimes lost in my own thoughts (now, that tends to be a waste of time), I observe the most remarkable things. Things that really shouldn’t exist, as they seem so fragile, like frogs for example. But they do exist, and they appear to know how to exist happily enough (until they don’t), so why do humans seem to have so much trouble living happily?
Too much thinking, I suspect, and not enough just being there.
This becomes an increasingly important issue as you age.
You sculpt your old age in your younger years, so beware.
Live well, I say.
Think about it!
What can you do to live more effectively, before it’s too late?
How can you fall in love with life again?
Get out there and do stuff!
Happy Trails,
Kevin aka FitOldDog
