I saw my Heart Doctor 19 Nov, a Doctor from Ghana...he asked if I had been active, I answered as in Radio Active, no no, exercising, getting out and doing something while the weather is good, before the dead of Winter. Wow Doctor I thought, the D word coming from my Heart Doctor. I am very active, or at least my Mind is, so far I made it to 66.
Today for us Senior's there is the Computer, if we crossed over from Pencil/Pen and Paper and know how to use a Computer, then for what? The World of Technology is not just for Men, nor has the Mechanical/Industrial World been.
Most of you may know me somewhat, know that I spend most of my time Online with genealogy research, answering e-mails, updating my websites, posting to Facebook, and I begin to think...hoping the following brings about thoughts, ideas and that you are not alone.
...how much time does a person spend using the social networking website Facebook or Twitter & the many other Social Media sites and "If the boss knew how much time you spent shopping online or Facebooking, do you think he or she would be happy?"
Since I no longer work, retired not by choice, Mary is my boss, she is not the Undercover Boss, the word Boss has many definitions one is "the hub of a propeller" the origin of Boss from the Middle English word boce, 14th century.
Sorry my Mind is wondering...Mary is the "Hub of my World" as she has become since 2002.
Is Facebook a form of a Daily Diary, or putting a Face with a Name, as in writing a book as you describe a Character, and you begin to imagine what this person looks like.
Or should I be of another type of Social Media "The Blog" which I have those. Or is Facebook a Blog as it is "a personal website or web page on which an individual records opinions, links to other sites, etc. on a regular basis.
The phrase "Build it and they Will Come", said by a disembodied voice in the movie "Field of Dreams"...well I created a Blog and no one came.
The Computer has become my Field of Dreams, opening a World of Knowledge and keeping in touch with old and new friends of the past and present. Look at all that a Computer can do...with someone at the keyboard or if programmed to run tasks automatically. For some a Computer can be very confusing or overwhelming.
Having an Open Mind, and accepting the way of the Future helps at any age. Which brings me back to why I began writing notes down at 2 a.m. as my Mind does not shut off...and in the last few weeks I began watching TV shows as Nikita and Fringe, thinking these may cause me to dream more...as I Dream constantly between 9 p.m. - 6 a.m. then comes the many wake ups for the LBR.
I can never get back to the same Dream to where I left off...be it a wonderful moment or one of action, like in the Movies or TV Shows...no I am not a Super Hero...however I do feel sometimes I am in 2 Worlds or Universes, like on Fringe, a parallel or Alternate Universe, when dreaming.
from the show Fringe is a map in the Secretary of Defense's office labeled Department of Defense. Which could be the Differences Between the Alternate Universe and the Prime Universe. It is not evident that the map is a complete representation of United States internal and external borders, or simply a map of Department of Defense jurisdictional boundaries.
What the show Fringe depicts, actually have happened and we do not know it?I worked for the Department of Defense for 24+ years...the show Nikita & Fringe both are technologically advanced, part of which is today real, and could be the Future...asking myself how much of what we view on these shows or imagine...one day will be real.
Some of us may know from the days of Buck Rogers, a fictional character who first appeared in Armageddon 2419 A.D. by Philip Francis Nowlan in the August 1928, paralleling the development of space technology in the 20th century and introduced Americans to outer space as a familiar environment.
Today we know of Space Travel, the quest for Mars & beyond is Real...and it can be said what we watch, read, imagine, dream about, share of our thoughts and minds....can become reality.
Many items used to day are a result of someone's Mind and Skills in making, also come from that of Movies & TV shows.
Subconscious Mind Power, affirmations are believed to harness the power of the subconscious to influence a person's life. Subconscious a term to become prominent in New Age, a Western spiritual movement that developed in the second half of the 20th century. Spiritual/Spirituality lacks a definitive definition is of or relating to a person's spirit or relating to supernatural beings or phenomena.
We all are Survivors...to remain alive : to continue to live : to continue to exist and please always strive to have Hope, a New Dawn and believe in Yourself, along with your other beliefs in Life.
Life takes on many changes, not always with the same outcome...we couldn't have foreseen the consequences of our actions.
My Life is something I would never of imagined having, nor what it was to become "My Future" unfolding a different path since 1992, that I could of foresaw or how it would affect others, including myself.
There are books about aging, which I doubt could of or can prepare us for this time in Life, as we begin aging. We may have seen our parents & grand parents age, or others around us that we know. Unless you are able to walk in another's shoes or be that person, it is hard to put in words these experiences & feelings they have lived and are living.
Our Past shapes our Future...Each and every one of us are Unique in Our Own Way, and how Life affects us. It is hard to stay Positive 100%, not everyone can, however please work at staying Positive, as the saying goes, "We Do Not Know What the Future Holds" and one part of Life is evident.
Talking and Sharing is good, this process provides Hope, Ideas and Understanding within ourselves and from others we care about, listen, share and talk.
Look at what some of us have experienced in our Life Time, events in the World, it is amazing to be living in a time that we witnessed TV, the Computer, SmartPhones, traveling in Space, to the Moon, International Space Station, beginning the Journey to Mars, and the ever changing of Medical Wonders to name a few.
The Computer is a great tool in this area, the World is at Your Fingertips, and what Social Media, E-Mails, Blogs / Web-blogging, sharing of Photo's, Video's, Links of our Interest as with Pinterest, Facebook, etc. provide are great. Bringing many together.
Not everyone has Artistic Talents, can Sing, Dance, Run, Jump, Play, Work, let the Computer be the way to develop other Talents you might not know you have and communicate.
One day we may be communicating with a Friend or Family in Space, the Universe Beyond or with the Reality of their World.
Keeping your Mind Active is very important to your Health & Future...keep moving, doing, continue to learn, grow, dream and never give up...
...I was not there in the last years of my Mother's Life, or of my Oldest Son, same for 2 of my 3 Sisters and much more I missed out on...
...Cherish your Family & Friends, do not let it be Too Late...even if someone says it is Never Too Late...one thing is for sure, Somethings are Too Late...be Positive Memories for Family & Friends, communicate and share.
