It is Wednesday and it has been a hella week so far. The excellent things are that my new co-worker is lovely. Such an amazing change in the atmosphere of work.

I have amazing friends who know when to hold me and know when to kick my ass.

I have the most wonderful, generous loving and sexy boi.

I am a very strong, very unafraid woman of integrity and generosity.

My sanctuary has been taken over....
My routine is totally off....
The new med the Dr. Prescribed works intermittently...
The house is getting hot...
Only one AC works-in the living room...

Other than that, I am amazingly blessed. I have a Mom who thinks of me when she goes shopping and calls me, "the best thing that's ever happened to me."...
I have a best friend who gave me JUST what I wanted for my birthday...
I am making some new friends on the net...
I am writing again....

Have a GREAT rest of the week, everyone! I hope you get everything you wish for and everything you need!

Hey all,

As I am a new old guyhere at the Planet I wnated to say hi to everyone.
I have enjoyed reading through the thread so far...

I have definitely slowed down as I passed the 50 mark.

But the most recent change I have noticed is due to many friends accidents I have re-evaluated that oh so prevelant attitude of youth - "Throw caution to the Wind" - I now entice caution into my decision making at every step I can... LoL

I still live a very fun life - but I now take time to think about how to accomplish all of this fun safely... LoL

Let's face it - we break easier than we used to - and we don't heal as fast to boot...just doesnt seem right somehow.

So that is my most recent observation about changes as we grow older. And I think it applies to most everything I have read here so far. We don't go out and drink as often because it takes a greater toll on us - we go to bed earlier than we used to because staying awake for 3 - 4 days just isn't fun anymore... LoL

So as week approach a fun filled weekend...I am cautiously opptomistic that a good time will be had by all - "safely."

Welcome to the thread, BBB! I hope you enjoy it here-we're an odd but supportive group! Your post sounds like you've learned wisdom along the way, something some of us never do! I congratulate you on it! Have fun here and don't feel like you have to hold your thoughts back. We discuss everything from where to eat to truck parts! *smile*

For discovering one's true inner nature, I think one should try to take out some time, with quiet and relaxation, to think more inwardly and to try to investigate the inward world. That may help. Then when one is very much involved in hatred or attachment, if there is time or possibility during that very moment, just try to look inward and ask: "What is attachment? What is the nature of hatred?
