I hope you have a great relaxing long weekend. I have no particular plans but I may go for a walk along the waterside since it is just around the corner.
Lately I have been a bit slack with my blog writing since I am also studying a few courses online and keep practising drawing.
Having just celebrated my 79th birthday I can assure you that life is getting better every day. There are still so many things to learn, pictures tu paint, books to write and new people to meet. I certainly need all the time that is allotted to me, however many years that may be.
Where I live my neighbours can get rather noisy at times and their kids are screaming. Isn't it heaven that I can simply close my window, thinking I don't have to deal with this?
If I want to start reading my Kindle Ebook at five in the morning, nobody is going to stop me and if I don't want to watch trite TV in the evening, I can switch it off without annoying anybody. You may think I am lonely but that is not so. I do enjoy my own company but I also have friends and family with whom I am in regular contact.
Don't let anybody tell you that old age is miserable. It's up to you.
Don't let anybody tell you that you are too old to learn something new. I teach German and my oldest student is well over eighty. She also studies Italian and French.
Enjoy the shining sun, the cooling rain and the refreshing breeze and if you live in a country where you have snowstorms (bin there, done that) then cuddle up with a glass of wine, a good book or even a friend.
Happy Easter.
PS The next five days my sailing book is available as free download http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Puruto
I quite agree! I'm really enjoying life in my older years. Age is only a number, after all. :)
