Occasionally, I scan back through past blogs. It helps to see where you were when you wrote them and where you are now.

Most comments are few and far between, but upbeat. Sometimes they're negative. I've been called sweet and funny, but also wrong and a liar... even when I later post facts to back up my opinions (and isn't it odd that those negative nay-sayers don't comment on the facts?).

This is America, and I believe that everyone has a right to express their opinions. Just look at politics right now as proof: we have Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders as front runners. Can't get more diverse than THAT!

Whatever you say or think, I may not agree with you... but I will always support your right to express yourself.

And... I will not tell you that you're wrong. Life is to short to argue over petty things.

Last day of 80 degrees for a while. 3 days of rain coming. At least the grass will be richly green!

A couple of days ago, I wrote about loves lost and future love. Every time I do this, people get the wrong impression and think I'm depressed.

You couldn't be more wrong!

I have come to accept my situation in life. I know that's hard for some people to accept. I know quite a few people my age who have been through less and are really bitter about life. THOSE are the people I worry about.

I am not sad... I have a sense of peace in my heart. I'm not saying I'm wise. It seems fairly simple to me to look back at my life and realize what I've done wrong and the clarity to move forward. I'm rarely blue or low any more. I smile a lot, for inside I know that I may not have a lot of material items, but I am blessed that my life did not turn out worse.

A multitude of humanity will not understand or conceive this. That's fine with me... I will keep on bringing joy to others whenever I can.

Life is a highway, I'm going to ride it as best I can for as long as I can!

Peace out.

High temp of 80, blue skies and sunshine. Talked with my neighbors and got a few rays. Took the car out for a cruise and did some girl-watching.

Now I'm ready to shower and start cooking dinner... movies later.

It doesn't get much better than this, y'all.

When I was a kid and a teen, I would run into a wall or fence to catch a ball because I loved sports.

As a young man, I threw away every thing I had for the love of my life, who then broke my heart.

In my 30s, I gave away my future of a secure, high-paying job and distanced my friends - even went to counseling to try to save my marriage. She left me any way.

Being an older, mature man now, I look back on all that I gave up for the things I loved. Not once was anything ever given up for me in return.

Instead of turning sour, I've realized these things happened because of poor choices on my part. I still have so much love to give... I simply give it to family and friends now.

I've gone as far as I can go down that road. Perhaps in the next life I will get it right.

70s this weekend! Spring has finally sprung. lol

I think I'll take my car out for a wash and wax, then cruise, baby!

Saw a woman yesterday dressed in a simple blouse and a full length skirt. The woman next to her was wearing a mini skirt and a low cut blouse. Both were beautiful. I kept looking at the woman in the long skirt... I suppose my imagination made her that much more desirable.

Go figure! lol

... everyone overnight made the same amount of money, imagine the chaos that would ensue on so many levels.

Ate a whole Digorno pizza and had chocolate pudding for dessert last night. My dream this morning before waking up:

I am riding a scooter through the ruins of my hometown. Zombies are everywhere, reaching for me. I find my first love standing on a corner crying, but she won't come with me.

That's it. I love my imagination!

... just keep on coming.

36 degrees Saturday, 59 degrees and rain today. &0's by next Sunday. (?)
