In five days I will be turning 70 years YOUNG.....moving into the seventh decade of my life!   And I never thought I'd be where I am in my life at this age.  So many crazy situations have happened to me in my 69th year and I now find myself living alone, managing an art gallery, creating my own art 24/7, teaching myself to weave, making my way through life by myself and I'm beginning to enjoy doing just that.  It's like I'm starting all over again by turning 70.  I'm not sure how a person is supposed to feel being 70, but I feel fairly good.

I decided to create this blog to put a voice to situations I encounter and post my opinions on current events and newsworthy situations that we all encounter.  I also like to research ideas and learn new things as I go along and I hope to put them out there for others to enjoy reading and maybe spark good conversation in doing so.

I have two blogs....the first I've been posting information about my art career; all the ups and downs along the way.  This second one will be more about what it's like to be in your seventh decade; the ups and downs of aging in this society of young robust people.  The struggle of being digital and up on the latest technologies, when we were raised without any of these devices.  The differences in the way I was brought up and the way my children and my grandchildren raise their children.  The gap is large and sometimes things need to be examined as to whether it's right or wrong or if there is anything to say about it at all.

I won't post every day...I don't want to devote my time to sitting in front of a computer/keyboard that much.  I will try to be thoughtful and considerate, but sometimes I do get a little opinionated and if I offend someone, I offend.  We can always agree to disagree and continue on as friends.  It's worked this long for me, why not longer.

So, I officially start another blog as I'm doing it for myself and those who read this can continue to read, think about stuff and if you have the desire, comment back.
