When I was younger I had more of a social life but since my partner died a few years ago I have been less social. I miss his joy and his curious mind.<br /><br />I have not been following the Olympics but am impressed by some of our young athletes.

I love the analogy of the car tyres - I'll remember that one for sure. Thanks for the thoughtful post - I'll be using some of that advice to put some proper perspective back into my approach for the weeks ahead. All the best!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674648154579013578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-91691288063494388522016-08-11T10:39:09.507-05:002016-08-11T10:39:09.507-05:00Wow!

I didn't invite them to the table.<br /><br />The Munich Olympics was scarred by that terrible terrorist attack. People seem unable to resolve their differences in ways that are adult and sane. I wish you only success with your plans that are afoot. Thanks for your constant friendship. Roland :-)Roland D.

Politics - it'd be good if everyone would do what was good for their country and the world, and not waste so much time bickering or bitching ... and I, I, I, ... it'd be nice if people could step back and then over that hurdle.<br /><br />Cheers - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-77756431855889681182016-08-11T02:41:45.833-05:002016-08-11T02:41:45.833-05:003 things: caring for family, learning, always lear...3 things: caring for family, learning, always learning, as much as possible about many subjects, and dreaming up stories. (notice I didn't say writing them all, but I'm trying). I watch baseball (Blue Jays) and science shows, not so much the Olympics and definitely not politics.You probably meant something more exciting. I want to be doing more creative things, but life intervenes.D.G. Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213237734772028645noreply@blogger.com
