Hi everyone,

I’m attempting to keep things simple this time around. Yeah, I’ll be writing a bit about my daily attempts to keep myself in reasonable shape for someone closer to 70 than 60. Some of the stuff that works, works a little, and what doesn’t for me. Then I’ll let you decide if I am right, wrong or simply more than half a bubble off center.

No, I don’t take myself all that seriously…well most of the time. I do go off on tangents every so often, just part of Harold being Harold I guess.

As I have gotten older, shit I’m old according to most people, I’m starting to see life a bit differently. Many of my old thoughts, idealogies or beliefs have changed over the years as I see things from different perspectives or experiences. Which is in my mind a good thing, because it means I am still growing and actually listening to what is going on around me.

Even so, I struggle with the physical and/or mental changes that I have no control over. Also, I know that at some point in the next 10-20 years that I probably will die and I think about that a bit more than I used to.

However, the way I look at it I have a great life and I am enjoying most of the things about getting to be old in today’s world, despite what the media or others might have us think. Life is what you make it to be and how you adapt to the world that is, is what is important, though it might not be the world as you want or believe it to be.

Yeah, reality sucks and then you do the best you can with it.

No, I’m not going to write about politics, religion, or attempt to push my beliefs or leanings on any of those myriad of other third-rail subjects that everyone else has too damn many opinions of anyway. If you’re looking for that kind of material, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
