The human condition in aging probably has many constants. I was out on the lawn at the beach early this morning . Part of the time spent was recovering one of our dogs that got off the leash.

Once again primarily marveling at the beauty of the late spring nature again. The ocean was calm and the changes from year to year get my attention. At times like those all other things seem to be forgotten.

Plus I had what was hoped a good conversation with a neighbor there. Then loaded the dogs and came home.

I think this endless stream of things that I have to get done. In a way distracts me from thinking about many things. I could have many issues if I had the free time to be more aware of them perhaps.

Maybe staying busy is good for the soul as well. Doctors claim a lot of our emotional problems are in general self inflicted. That is why they do not like dealing with them.

At the same time many are created by our brains chemical imbalances.

If I have a concern at all it is to not become a load on others or loss of my limited mental capacity. I have seen those things happen for far too many people.

The wife can identify a months work of things to get done in only a few minutes over breakfast. It is usually just a casual priority reminder..Usually but not always.

I hope we hear from Oldsinner in a reasonable time as well. I do not even think I know his age.
