Think I'm gonna give the journal a rest. Gonna give up the pretense that this is where I do my writing - because I don't - or that this is where I meet up with others for the mutual exchange of ideas and life experiences - because it isn't. Or hasn't been, in recent months.
At this moment, a few lines from the Jefferson Airplane come to mind: "Life is change/ How it differs from the rocks/ I've seen their ways too often for my liking/ New worlds to gain/ My life is to survive/ And be alive for you..." In the life that's mine, the last two lines are about my grandson.
Beyond that, I'm not really sure of what comes next. But not to worry because something always does - a flood, a famine, a mortar & pestilence. (The "quirky" humor remains intact.) All those things that life seems bent on using to stir things up and break things down.
In closing, I'd like to say thanks to those who've been with me through this part of the journey and especially to AmandaGayle who, in the days when a "user invite" was required to open a new LJ account, kindly opened that door for me.
In the unlikely event that anyone needs to reach me, I'll still check my e-mail from time to time at olbuksings@aol.com. See ya...
