New to Blogging

This is a brand new life experience for me. Being a computer novice, so to speak, I just discovered "blogging" a few months ago. I'm 65 years of age and absolutely full of aspirations to learn and do so many new things--there isn't enough time in my day. I thought maybe I could use this format to instill a little hope in the younger generation that getting old can be a positive thing.

Yesterday I spoke to a long time family friend who feels he's just "found himself". After working hard for 30 years, he's finally discovered that the perfect employment for him is to create masterpieces in glass--window panes, to be exact. I couldn't help but feel pride and respect for this sweet man as he described how long it had taken for him to find the job that made him the happiest. Most of us struggle our whole lives chasing the almighty dollar in jobs we hate and forget that the moments we're living are the only moments we're allowed. The moral of this little message is...be happy!
