I was told that sometime sixty three years ago today, I was pushed or drug out of a warm safe place into the real world. I don't remember if it made me happy or sad then nor can I say either way today. I understand that I could not have remained there in the nice warm cozy place forever so I'm accepting what has been. When you get so many numbers on your total it becomes pretty easy to add another and doesn't hurt any at all. My running tally isn't high enough for me to brag about yet, but it's high enough for me to wonder about once in awhile. I've know some awfully nice people that didn't make it this far. To mention a few, my grandpa, my dad and three brothers. This makes me a record breaker for the male side of the family. My nearest contender was my grandpa whom I think made it to fifty seven. Why me Lord?...................But I thank you just the same!
As near as I can tell in the darkness out the window it looks like rain. Of course it looked several times like rain yesterday but we got only a few drops in the early morning then nothing else the rest of the day. That did allow me to take down the other two trees and haul them off. It didn't seem too hot but I sure did get totally wet in a hurry. Another two clothes change two shower day. .......... Only lost one pound ............. but I didn't get a single tick!
I've been up for a little more than an hour and things don't seem to be getting any better. That wouldn't be a concern if the morning had started with it's usual high but it didn't. Instead of eagerly jumping out of bed I grudgingly rolled out. As to the why the lack of eagerness I'm still pondering.
Ponder not old fellow guy, pondering is only for the young or very strong good thinking aged. Weaklings can ponder themselves into an early grave.
