I go to market on Saturdays, and usually stop in M-F at the Senior Center. Wednesdays is 10% off at the grocery store. I tend to do my washing every two weeks on a Sunday or Monday. I watch Thai programs on youtube. I write something every day. When I had a garden I would be working in it until I couldn't see.

My life is "smaller" these days. I consider getting out of bed "productive".

I was just surprised by the pick because he retired from neurosurgery practice over a decade ago and has, in the time since, arguably built a higher national profile for himself in politics/public service. It would be like wanting to meet Mark Wahlberg not because he's a famous actor, but because of his prior musical accomplishments with The Funky Bunch. It's a totally valid choice, just an unexpected one.

Humm, why not? A highly respect neurosurgeon and he has a fascinating life history. No one could ever guess that he would have made it to become a doctor let along a neurosurgeon.

Thanks for reading and your valued comments.

I have to agree with you. Home is my favorite place as well. However, I do like to travel on the occasion and get a change of scenery, but it's always the best to walk back through the home doors!

That's unacceptable regarding the parking situation. To be told you're allowed to park someplace, and then not allowed to park there due to a requirement that clearly should have been mentioned in the letter. I usually use the valet parking option for my eye appointments, as it's free and reasonably convenient.

I used to go horse riding as a teenager. We lived in the city and I begged my parents to let me have a horse, and I swore I would look after it. Fortunately, they said no because that would never have worked out

I used to love horses though and I spent all my spare time at the stables, which were a half-hour bike ride away. But it's different when you chose to help muck out the stables when it suits you compared to having to do it because it's your horse, in the freezing cold or when it's raining.

I haven't been near a horse since then. I would probably be a bit scared of them now.

Great advice! As I reach the "mid-career" level of my life, I find myself thinking more and more about retirement and what planning I should do now to make sure that those later years are properly financed. But I'm honestly surprised at how many people my age don't have ANY retirement savings. Or much savings. Many of them are the result extenuating life circumstances (which no one can control), but there are quite a few who just "haven't gotten around to thinking about it" yet. That terrifies me because, as you said, starting earlier in life is the best way to ensure later success!

Parallelism in Poetry

How old is poetry? I don't know myself but in doing my writing I came across some information about poetry that I didn't know. Poetry in Psalms is very interesting. We don't see the normal rhyming that often is in standard poetry writing. It seems that Hebrew poetry, one of the rules is the use of parallelism. It is a kind rhyming of ideas instead of sounds. Three parallelisms used are: Synonymous, antithetical, and synthetic parallelism. In synonymous you will find two lines that say basically the same thing as in, hear me or pay attention to me. In antithetical you will see two lines consisting of opposites. And in synthetic the lines may build on each other as in Psalm 14:2 "The Lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if there is even one with real understanding, one who seeks for God."

So I have learn another form of poetry and just had to share. It has been wonderful learning about poetry and also revisiting Psalms.

Note: reference The One Year Book of Psalms by Tyndale Publishing
