“All down hill from here”

St Josephs Chruch
St Josephs Church

Here it is Monday and the start of another week when I’m not sure what happened to last week. I lost it. I did check off a few items but it went by way too fast. Heck life seems to be moving by too fast. They say once you reach a certain age it’s “all downhill from here.” I’ve always associate that as a positive phrase. Its simplest meaning is that “The hard work’s over, and it’s all going to be much easier from now on.” But, that statement does not indicate how fast we end up going, gotta hang on to your hat every once in a while. Have a bunch more to get done this week plus a 2-day trip on Thursday.

Found some quiet time at a local church this past week and played around with some DOF. I kind of like the effect.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Life is like a roll of TP. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes around.
    No, I didn’t think that one up. 🙂

    LOL – about the toilet paper being empty with grandchildren around … I have a 21 year-old around and the same thing happens. He can’t seem to figure out how to put it back on the spool when I give him a new roll, either. 🙂

    I like sitting in churches, too. They are nice places, quiet, great for meditation.

      LOL I laugh sometimes as I consider how full of it my grandkids must be. 🙂 I just came back from a bike ride and stopped at one of the churches for that quiet. The only sound was the air conditioner. In my older age the quiet is getting to be more important.
