The Things I have Not Done

-

Don’t get me wrong, I have lived a full and active life. However, I am coming upon the closing years, where I see many things I thought I would have had time for. It is getting clearer every day that there is much that I won’t do before I die.

I love to travel, and I love the mountains. When I was younger, I would say that I got strength from the mountains. I always pictured myself living in a small cabin with a mountain stream nearby and lots of small animals scurrying about. I would live off the land and make  and sell my artwork to locals. It is a vision that I still retain in my kind when I want a mental escape.

I used to be somewhat radical back in the sixties. With the political climate the way it is now, I would love to demonstrate again.  However my eye sight is poor and I can’t stand for very long. So the best I can do, is send petitions and write letters or emails to congressmen.

Time will tell.

Since Jay has heart issues and we are both over 70, there was no other alternative than to hibernate. Most people are, even though our idiot governor won’t make it mandatory. I am sure he does not want to rile the president, since they are such good buddies. We are doing well. There is a full pantry and freezer. Starting to run out of fresh fruits and veggies, but we are managing nicely. Decided we would start some of our summer projects. It’s a great time for reflecting on life. Where we have been and what lies ahead.
