Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Middle Aged

3 Comments

As a person in his 50s, I am certainly middle-aged. My sense of humor gravitates to that of a fifteen-year-old boy, it’s still hard to believe I am middle-aged. My body does tell me a different story there. Stuff hurts, and I need my bifocals to read almost everything.

I still listen to the music of my youth (the 70s and 80s). I try to keep up with what is going on these days to stay somewhat relevant. Being conversant with multiple generations is a good thing.

Being middle-aged, especially as a member of Generation X can be fun at times. Our history has let us see a lot of innovation and changes in the world. Like any era in history, you have got to roll with the punches and be flexible. Getting older is not for the feint of heart, though.

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?
View all responses

I go to bed usually at 11 PM on weekdays. I wake up when either my bladder tells me to or the alarm goes off around 5:45. I am using a CPAP it does help but when nature calls you can’t ignore that. Now on weekends bedtime has a little more fluidity and an alarm is only set when there are things to do on Saturday and on Sunday I am up early to make it to church.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Recover

Leave a comment

Whether it be illness or grief or whatever has impacted you greatly it takes time to recover. It’s not easy and oftentimes times you never fully recover who you were but you become something different or new. People find themselves wondering what’s next and will they be whole again. To recover means to get something back too and sometimes a loss is just that a loss and there must be a new way forward.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Death

1 Comment

My dad passed away on August 24th. He’s no longer with us on Earth. I know he is with the Saints and Angels of heaven but that doesn’t change the fact I hate he is not here. Death is something I hate with everything I have. Sure it’s a cure but its also a price you pay for living or so it seems. My goodness so many good people go into eternity but it still sucks. Losing people is awful. I do wish people didn’t have to go but you know they have to because bodies wear out and all that jazz. Death sucks, it just does. Screw death.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Daddy

1 Comment

I still think of my father as a daddy. Yeah I am almost 50 but I still see my father through the eyes and heart of a kid. I don’t call him daddy but I prefer the word dad but you get where I am coming from. My daddy is slowing down and his health isn’t so good these days. Really, its hard for me to see the reality of seeing this man I have known all my life not be able to do the things he has always done. It’s all about aging at this point. Daddy you are still number one.

A sanctuary is a place where you are to feel the divine, the holy and the sacred. It’s also a place of safety. peace and love. Today everyone is trying to find that place where they are free from fear. So many need sanctuary to escape the troubles of the world that is increasingly hard to live in. Wherever that place is for you may it be a source of life and renewal so you can face the challenges of tomorrow or just to get through today.
