A time for Introspection !
Jewish people all over the world celebrate these High Holidays, Our Days of Awe, and we seriously
try to correct our bad habits that we've developed over the years, and try to discipline ourselves into becoming better human beings.
So...I'm thinking ! I'm considered an old lady now, although somehow they've changed the pattern and this age is considered about 10 years younger. I haven't discussed this with an actuary, so I don't know how accurate this is.
I'm trying to figure out what I've accomplished in my life...or if I've rubbed off on anyone to make a difference in their life. And the answer is plain and simple.....NOT REALLY.
I went to a funeral the other day and one of the mourners stood up and spoke...and it appears that the main things in this man's life was he loved to gamble...and he liked soup....but according to his kids, this made him a great man.
Would Nixon be considered a superior human being, although he had that one big blemish on his record.
Could be that we're all flawed and that's what makes us human!
I think maybe we're important only to ourselves and we're all held accountable for every deed.
So...I'll just live with those thoughts...and maybe try a little harder.

It's a living breathing thing!
A salamander was running alongside the top of my fence on my patio. I believe I sat about half an hour watching this tiny specimen creature, one of God's creations.
A little red thing would energize every couple of seconds from his throat area and I didn't know if it was his breathing, catching bugs, or a sexual thing.
One thing I do know! It reminded me of how a dynasaur must have looked a billion years ago except a lot diminished in size.
Is this part of the reptile family? Is it a bug? Whatever, he was so cute that I would never dare deliberately take him out of this world. Some people refer to them as geicos...others as lizards.
Little children when they visit from the north want to take them home with them...but I explain that it's a tropical creature.
Some people meditate...others do yoga. Me...I watch salamanders.

I Have a Little Shadow
Hiding from one's shadow is an impossible task...as hard as trying to escape from one's thoughts, being as they're not channeled in any particular direction, but floating uncontrollably out into the world, only to be thought by me.
Shadows and thoughts are a part of us that have nothing to do with one another, except they're tached to us. Memories may fade and shadows may alter, but they're always there. My thoughts have been taking over my subconscious making me aware of how many people used to be an active part of my life.
Little by little, as I age, I'm losing my friendships. These ladies have moved into retirement homes to be cared for...having their meals cooked and served to them, and reminding them to take their medications, and making sure they're using their walkers, canes or wheel chairs.
My innermost thoughts are always there, swaying and crawling to a place that only I can reach, and enhancing images in my mind that tend to enter and leave at random..... coming and going on and on!
I can no more control what I'm thinking than I can of breathing.
Was it always this way, or am I just by myself so much that I'm living within my consciousness.
Am I reliving my life to make sure I remember, or these so-called thoughts just keep tumbling out, causing me to have too much time and not enough to occupy me.
Now it's time for me to take charge and get rid of all this foolishness. Yes, indeed I can, and I will! I'm enrolling at our Palm Beach Public Library, where they're offering a course helping seniors cast their hand at creative writing.
This way, I can focus on what's really important to keep my memories alive.
I'll take a few of my blogs to be shown the way to improve my writing so more people might want to visit my site..
My blog is about my best friend. I confide all kinds of quirky things about me in it and I do laugh at my own shortcomings.
My grown-up children have no idea what they created when they suggested my writing a blog that it would be such an important part of my life.
