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.

Solution

Sometimes we gotta do what we don't wanna do.  That's life.

Lilith Dance  by rcw
We've all got to tighten our belts here on the homefront....our country's fiscal health is on life support and it's up to us to change things.

Although I am worried that my own life may be changed drastically if certain things are cut, I am at the same time willing to make some sacrifices on behalf of keeping our country afloat.  I am on SSI due to my disabilities.

Now I am more than willing to find work, have even tried several times through the years to secure gainful employment, but so far no luck.  Volunteering doesn't pay.  Being poor sucks, but there are people poorer  out there....so there's a lot of gratitude for what we have.

So I continue with what I know to do...stock up on foodstuff, repair things rather than replace them when possible and look for other ways to save money.  Another thing to do, keep the faith.  Believe that there are better days ahead....why?  Because that's the only way to make it happen.

For today, Fifty Five Is The New Solution....positive thinking and positive action. The only way to fly.
