Amen to that. In years past, I was blind to the signs. Good for you.

Our priorities do change in our lives. As a kid, the arcade was the be all and end all for me. Now? I do not know where any arcades are.

Good Morning
BearcatMike, I love this post. I was just thinking the other day that I wish I had the energy I used to have. In a day, I would work, wash clothes, make dinner, spend the evening with my kids, clean the house, go to bed at 11:30, get up and start again, and then go out on the weekends. I could not do all of that in one day now.

Our bodies change with each decade. I choose to exercise so I can enjoy each new decade as it comes. I'm fortunate to be able to go to my daughter's salon every day. I don't have a paying job, by choice; it's more important to have a reason to get up and get going every day. I'm not much for movies but I love my sports teams! The Lord directs us and so I look for signs regarding what he would like me to do. He does show me ways I can make a small difference that could lead to big things as he collectively brings many people together.

Sometimes it is good to find out early if you are not right for each other. I had a bunch of almost relationships.Now I am glad.

I was very sad, the girl was hoping to marry grew frustrated because I was helping my Father who had let me borrow a huge sum (in those days.) He had a small business and he was slowly dying and I had to decide.

I have to laugh. We have lived parallel lives...except for the looking for women. Back in the day, before marriage, I headed to the dance club after work. I lived in a military town during my single years, and the club was always packed with Navy guys on det at our base from other states. These days, I am happy to stay home and enjoy a good movie and a good night's sleep. However, when it comes to meals, I do enjoy cooking. I actually find it therapeutic. I missed my calling. I should have been a chef. Maybe in my next life. 👩🍳
