Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!

Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.

Disappearing Act

Randi at Mesa Verde
Been thinking about our visit to the Grand Canyon  and Mesa Verde.

I remember while there, being mystified by the beauty....but more.

At Mesa Verde, there were times when I'd sit off by myself ......I could sense the old souls who used to walk those paths.....could hear them beating corn or stone while youngsters scampered about playing at hunting.

These people seemed to find a way to live in harmony, at least for a time.  What made them disappear? Where did they go?

What can we learn from what  they left behind?  What they didn't leave behind, too.

I worry about our country, our world, our species.  Are we doomed to become legends on the wind, like the Anasazi?  I wonder.

For today, Fifty Five Is The New Disappearing Act.....is our society destined for the same fate as the old ones on the Mesa?
