If you're complaining about age and folks say

quit complaining about being old . . . . PMA folk would tell you to speak what you want to happen. AND I don't want to be old (but then I didn't die young, so I get to be old), so maybe I should talk about feeling young.

When I see people younger than I leaving this mortal coil, I am reminded that length of years is a gift not given to all. I should relish these days; but we all know some days are better than others.

Nevertheless, I intend to improve my outlook by improving my attitude. That would include overcoming my tendency to withdraw--many things are simpler by oneself, but not more fun, and I would even say they're not better, just easier.

My commitment (gee is it New Year's Eve yet?) is to get to water aerobics regularly because participation and activity really seem to improve my frame of mind. Then I intend to make couple loaves of bread (I do love making it) and give them to the neighbors. Just cause I can.
Being connected to other people can overcome feelings of depression; it's just the hardest step to take some times.

And lastly, though maybe more importantly, I want to sup with a good friend occasionally. I really do love that fellowship; it is indeed food for the heart and soul, the best nourishment.
