Mary, I did the bowling thing in September/October. Then I made that trip to Arkansas, and my bowling buddy got herself a gentleman friend while I was gone...and I just haven't wanted to go bowling since...at least, not with the senior group, which is what we did. (Do you realize how 'set in their ways' most seniors ARE today???!!!!!) Perhaps over the Christmas holidays I will be able to go with my son & grandson (they are both 30). Everyone is so busy these days...can't find another bowling buddy. Sigh.

I hadn't bowled since I was in my 20s. Was surprised that my body did not protest. But I was bowling 3 games each time...and didn't do as good as you... As a bowler...my average was a very good golf score...never broke 100. :lol But I finally found the 'right ball'...and things began to 'pick up' just before I stopped going. Sigh again.

My granddaughter-in-law wants to take me carioka-ing. Is that the way to spell it? I thought that was dancing...kinda like 'line dancing'. :lol Was surprised to learn it is 'singalong'. Man, I can dig that!!! Well, I could probably dig the dancing too...I used to love to dance. Have had no opportunity to go. Lots of 'old folk' around here...nobody 'up' to doing these things much. :ROFL3

I got music in my bones though. It just comes out a 'little funny'. :lol Stay tuned. Grandson & wife will be here Dec 22...I'll give y'all a 'report' about Leela's night out carioka-ing.

Met a retired hairdresser in the beauty shop this morning. I was looking in the style books, ready for a change. She said she ain't changing no more...she's gonna stay just as she is. Well, she is 84. Perhaps when I get there...I'll feel the same way. But my life has been nothing BUT change, and last June, 'change' accelerated.

Used to be a song 'There'll Be Some Changes Made'...

Chorus:
For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be a change in me
My walk will be diff'rent my talk and my name
Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same,
I'm goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain't enough,
Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff,
'cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray
Ther'll be some change made.

Verse:
They say the old time things are the best,
That may be very good for all the rest
But I'm goin' to let the old things be
'Cause they are certainly not suited for me,
There was a time when I thought that way,
That's why I'm all alone here today
Since ev'ry one of these days seeks something new
From now on I'm goin' to seek some new things too.

There'll be some changes made to-day
There'll be some changes made.

Ya know...if ya have eyes to see...then ya know that these 'changes' are caused by/indicate the INNER change that has been taking place in me for years...which has simply accelerated, as I said, beginning last June.

I never know what I am going to BE like when I wake up each morning. Most of the time I have no IDEA what I am going to do that day until I find mySelf doing it!

Is that 'living in my NOW'? :rolleyes

Anywho....come along with me, the best is yet to be, the last of life for which the first was made! :l_cube
