The young and the old

I think we can all talk about how we feel. That’s a good thing being able to talk about how you feel. We will not see eye to eye on everything. I know that the young and old are from a difference style of living and the old don’t like change. we elders like the way things were done in past years which is not a bad thing but now I have to try to live in the now. My son tells me to get out of the part I am trying but 69 years of old school change doesn’t come easy. I didn’t want to write on the computer because my spelling is not always right. I saw he was not giving up on me so I am trying. When my kids come to me I listen and we talk then it’s up to them. I try to be open minded but it doesn’t always work. I believe everyone can learn some slower than others no one is stupit. I would never call a person stupit or dumb because this will make them feel bad and not try to learn. Well I am trying to move to the new way the computer is a start and I love the comments I get it helps keep my mind active and keeps me from being lonely . I want you to always be your own person because it’s your life. When I write it’s the way I feel you have the right to the way you feel . Let’s have a bless day and thank GOD for being who we are.
SMILE BECAUSE YOU
ARE GREAT

YOUR JOB

If there is a job your want but you got to deal with the public and you know you can’t deal with people this is not the job for you look for something else. I see it all the time how the workers treat people and I hate it. Some workers are mad getting to work so the public have to pay for what ever happened before they got to work. I am going to let it go for now. I just got off the city bus and what was said to the old lady was wrong . That’s why some people get hit. If you don’t like people being slow get another job you are going to get old if you live long enough remember that.
Bye for now

DOG TRAINING

My new dog is having a hard time training. I feel like what are we doing wrong. She don’t like to go outside by herself. She want someone to stay out there with her and play and it’s only 6 am. I know it got to get better. It’s going to take time I know. I need help.

WALKING

It is cold outside a good day for a walk. I have a park near by it has a lake so I will walk around only 1 time . waking is good to keep my limbs moving. I get real stiff sitting doing nothing. When you get older you got to keep moving. I try but sometime I just don’t feel up to it. My kids call it lazy but I know how I feel one day they will understand. I am going to stop by the coffee shop and meet my friends and talk for awhile then head home. I try to walk2 times a week which I think is good at 69. So off I go you have a good day. God bless
Walking to keep young
