As to your writings on the thing that none of us can avoid unless we put a bottle to our head and pull the trigger, I find I do not comprehend the world as it has become. I am too old for political correctness, and hate the word entitlements along with what they represent and most of all I cannot fathom beheading someone who has done nothing to you. As I said I am more comfortable in history be it yours or mine. It was a much better time as innocence still lived.

I reached the grand mark of three score years and ten in November just gone. I'm still finding it difficult to believe, and my friends of long-standing and of similar age, give or take, feel the same way as I do about it all! <br /><br />When it comes down to the nitty-gritty I doubt anyone imagines being "old". I sure as hell didn't - and don't. I'm still the same person inside...in my mind; in the way I think and feel about things. The body is the traitor...or at least my hips are. They let arthritis creep in when I wasn't looking and the damn thing has taken up residence...it's become a squatter; but I don't let it hinder me too much.<br /><br />Grey (notice the spelling) doesn't worry. I like being grey and am happy to remain so.<br /><br />As you say...one gets to an age when many are falling around us like petals from a rose.<br /><br />I'm a pretty solitary person, (of my own choosing - I enjoy my own company and privacy) having spent most of my working life surrounded by the madding crowds...I now cherish my "aloneness" - I never am lonely. It's just the person I am...how I am.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.com
