Good Morning America, how are ya! Yes, I know it isa line from an old song lol, but, it still works, doesn’t it? Anyway, It is January 7th, 2026 now and, I have things like many others my age, I am heading to 70 years old in a few weeks or so, that affect my life and health. Yet, as we age our bodies react differently for each of us, due to the ways we eat, exercise or live. So, for each of us as humans, we grow to learn we have our fralities and health problems no matter what we do. So we combat them, by way of Doctors and treatments and pills and we keep going, until we can’t of course. But, isn’t that the story of life folks?

Anyway, the cold has moved into Massachuetts here and that is normal for January here. Dealing with the news there days alone is enough to raise one’s blood pressure and more. The Ukraine/ Russian war sucks and there has been no progress in ceasing it. And no matter what our American President says he intends to do, he is getting no where with the Russian President, in ceasing it. So sadly, millions of people, from both nations, die daily.

In America we have our own problems that are intensifying daily. The Political mess is damaging to our reputation world wide and our position. We are laughed at and scolded due to mistakes and uncooperating proceedures and diplomacy with our allies and enemies is falling apart. The Epstein scandal is ruling America and the files are not being released still, and this itself is a major problem. On top of that, we have an economy that is faultering, and puttering along and declining daily. Jobs disappear, tariffs go up, the cost of food, utilities, housing go up, also. The Markets jump up and then drop and go back and forth based on the tariff situation. It’s a crazy world right now, of unstainability.

Having an American President who wantts to take Greenland, is not good either, I don’t care if he says, it is needed for national security, it isn’t ours to take, it belongs to the Danish People. we have no right to do so. We had no right to enter Venezuela and take down Maduro either. It is none of our business, how a country runs itself, and who governs it and how, unless they threaten or attack the United States.

Now since when can an American President, do as he please in attacking a sovereign nation, without Congressional approval? What is Trump’s plans for the country he did this to and why was it done? Look if it is an oil grab, it means nothing in the end, for the oil will burn up and be used. IT is all about oil and money then, nothing more. we have no business in Venezuela, or Greenland, they did nothing to us. You want to do something thats good, take out Putin if ya can, and stop that war, and save lives. But to attack our own allies with tariffs, or military might and threaten other nations, with invasion is not the American way, and should be stopped by Congress. Even, Roosevelt, had to get Congress’s approval to enter World War 2 folks, and the Nazi’s were aggressive. Listen, no President is a King, and Trump is now crying if his party doesn’t win the Mid Term elections he will be impeached. He is right and if he is Impeached he deserves it, in my opinion. No America President, should be talking about Annexing Greenland or taking it over with military might. No American President should be attacking any nation without Congressional Approval. why is this being allowed by Congress? Simply put folks, Trump owns Congress and they are afraid of him period, and they refuse to reign him in. They are all Republicans and owe their jobs to Donald Trump and don’t want to be ousted from office, or face a primary, against Trump appointed people. Look folks, there needs to be term limits on Senators and Representatives, put in place. Having the same people for over so many years, doesn’t work, it gets us into a quagmire and destabilizes the country, and more.

I wish, the Forefathers of America were here today. If they were they would have never allowed a convicted felon to become President. They would have ran his ass out of the country, tarred and fethered him too. They would be hanging their heads in shame if they were here today. Trump is an unstable, man, in many ways. Menatally, and physically, and unbalanced. yet, the American people are doing nothing to stop him, from destroying America and our position in the world. when will Congress wake up, when will the House and Senate finally go, enough? I believe Americans need to educate themselves, they need to stay informed and we need to make better choices as to who we elect to our political, offices and government. If we continue to put in power, the types of people we currently have, American Democracy and The Republic shall fall. we need better representation, in the Senate and in The House and Congress needs to reign in The President and limit his powers! If not then we are no better then a country living under a Dictatorship and America was never created for this purpose, of pleasing one man, or one party. The Constitution says, We the People, not we the followers of one man! I remind all, We The people fought the American Revolution to get out from under a King, not to become a Kingdom of one man again on out own soil!

God Bless America, and we are lucky to have all we do, but, the current President is not the wya to go folks! He needs Impeached and removed, And if you can’t find a reason to Impeach him, he should be removed under the 25th Admendment! Period! He is a danger to America, and the World!

Hello 2026, today is the first. As we proceed forward this year there are so many questions regarding out country, it’s leadership or lack of it, that it is beyond belief.

We attack ships from other countries, on the Presidnet’s orders, it’s a war act that should never be done. Each time it happens it puts America more at risk for counter attacks of many different kinds. qwe have no business, capturing other countries ships no matter what they do, unless they are in American waters.

Add the Epstien files and the phots from it, and we have our second biggest, scandal in american history that involves a sitting President. Then the blocking of the release of said files adds a third problem and breakingf of the laws of our country. Then when asked about it Republican Leaders refuse to at to fix any of the abover items. Why? Simple folks they are scared sick of retribution by Donald J. Trump, and because of that we suffer asa country home an don the world stage.

Add the tarriffs and what they have done to our economy and prices of food, utilities, gas, and medical costs rising and American is now in a crisis mode like never before. The sad part is Trump has his MAGA followers so buffaloed and bullshitted and scared they won’t take one action against him. The sa dpart is that even the MAGA crowd and Trump Followers are now feeling the pain too. Yet they are frozen in pure fear. Sad indeed.

What does America do now folks, where do we turn? Well I doubt if Congress wil act to stop Trump they are scared shitless. So there can’t be an Impeachment, unless Congress turns a corner. The 25th Admendment is where Congress should go, it allows removal of an American President for incompetence and mental unstabily. That is exactly where Donald J. Trump stands in my opinion. yet Congress cowtows and bends to Trump’s wil left and right it is sad folks.

So as 2026 gets underway the only other way to stop Trump and his nonsense and corrupt wyas, wil be the midterm elections. He has failed the American people in so many ways it is sad. Medical Costs fly sky high, and there wil be no end in sight. He has no Health care plan and neither does his party and we all know it. So what do we do, we suffer, our children eat less, get less education cause he shut down that department, their healthc are costs goes up and children begin to die, from lack of vaccinations, stopped by RFK and Trump. And the MAGA crowd including Scott Jennings, sit there and back Trump and his policies on tv folks. Ya know what I once admired Scott Jennings, but after his recent, the last three months of backing Trump in everyway, I lost all respect for him. It is a sad state of affairs for all of America and it’s people.

That all said, 2026 is here folks, and we must work to make it the best we can as we try to survive this fine mess. I know many wil say, I don’t know what I am talking about but, I do folks.

I Just want to Wish all A Very happy New Year filled with adventure, happiness, financial stability, and good health. If nothing else we must take care of ourselves folks for we have no real leadership anymore in America. That my friends, neighbors, and even enemies, would kill the Founding Fathers if they saw all of it. Never in American History has America sunk so low in the World’s Opinion! Let’s pray for better days, better leaders, and better times folks.

Christmas 2025 has rolled by now and we head to New Years Eve and the New Year next. As we do, I am slowly turning 70 in January soon enough. Hard to believe for me, because i neve rthought I would make it past 40 years old. I have always been a type of person who does as he pleases, and has fun to the best of my ability. I have also been a person who is cautious so, because of that I believe I am still here going on 70. I guess it is a matter of thinking before doing so to say and most should do the same, for impulsive behavior gets you, inpulsive reactions from others. It can get chaotic for all involved.

As 2025, begins it’s closing sequence in time, it is important for all to see, changes are coming in the world and our country for you and for me. Climates are changing, governements are shifting, the ways we do things are changing too. Computers are bigger then ever before, as is Artificial Intelligence or AI as it is now called. Virtual Reality is in big as people explore made up worlds, online and elsewhere. Kids are no longer playing outside and having fun, now they play inside. X_box, Play Station, Meta Quest rule now. People don’t date in person much anymore either, they all use dating apps of one kind or another. Real life interactions are less and less these days. Socialism has changed, as men fear women and women fear men. Men go all she wants me for is to do her honey do lists and money. Women go all the men want is sex and whatever I have, so they can increase thei own value. Real conversations between men and women are really few and far between, we tend to avoid as much as we can, between the sexes these days. But, it is thought of as normal behavior by many. In truth, we were all better off when mom said, go outside and play with your friends, and be home by the time the street lights come on. At least we learned to interact that way and talk to each other.

Well, on the political front, changes are going to come also. The Mid-term year will be 2026 as we all know. The Economy sucks really as prices climb and tariffs cause their effects. Food goes up, utilities are rising, rents and the price of anything you can think of too. We have more violence in America than ever before under the Current President and his Administration. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are all under attack, OBamaCare is being shelved and tossed aside and health care costs will triple for many in no time. Sadly, the current President doesn’t care or is not mentally aware or socially aware of what his policies are doing to our country and the way we live. Guns are everywhere and people get shot left and right in different outtings, schools and stores. Anger has built to such a level that people won’t do anymore than say hello these days and that barely happens.

I love America, I served her for 16 years, and I gave up my time and health for my country defending her. As a Disabled Veteran, I am watching as Trump and his people destroy the Veteran’s Administration and it’s medical staff. Laying off workers and doctors and nurses. Why? We the Veteran’s of America who served and earned our benefits want and need them to survive and we deserve them too. Stop doing so Mr.President. Stop dismantling the Veteran’s Administration, it’s health care team and leave our benefits alone.

Back up Mr Presidnet stop starting wars with other countries. Stop claiming to stop wars you didn’t. Stop, picking on those under attack, and defending those who do the attacking. Just stop it pleaseeeeeeeeeee! Stop yelling at the American People and telling us, how great the country is under you and take a better look at what you are destroying and how the country is aching from your policies.

Final word for today, as I finish out my 69 years, headng into my birth Month in 2026. I pray America will wake up, I pray America wil finally come to it’s senses and kill MAGA as a political team and party arm. I pray, America will come to realize, our current President is a danger to us all and to the world. And I pray we can change it and make it better very soon. I only hope for the best for America, the American People and the way we live.

December 25th, 2025, Christmas Day ! Merry Christmas to all and to all I also wish a Very Happy New Year ahead, as 2025 rolls towards it’s ending! Each day I grow older, and more cautious about everything and everyone I meet. As we age, we learn things that few will understand until they get here. But, in the meantime life does go on, and we all try to live it as fully as we dare.

Christmas 2025
William M. McCurrach
December 24th, 2025
It’s Christmas Eve Day !
As children try to behave,
Adults have fun,
And yes,
Even Santa tries to get things done.
The snow has fallen so it will be a White Christmas here you see,
The rooftops are white,
The streets are plowed,
And as you go walking,
You Hear Christmas Songs, outloud.
No Matter where you go,
No Matter what you do,
Christmas is mighty,
The Spirit will get you
So Have yourself, a Grand Christmas,
Make everyone smile,
And Bright!
Remember it’s Christmas Eve,
Tomorrow is Christmas Day,
Enjoy Family, and Friends,
Till the Christmas Season Ends !!!!

I wrote the above, yesterday on Christmas Eve, and sent it out to some I know and some I like. Remember today, as you Celebrate Christmas and open presents and have family surrounding you, tjhere is always someone out there, who doesn’t have what you do. Thjey are alone, on their own, missing someone they lost. There comes a time in life, when we all end up alone folks, for the holidays or more. It’s just a fact if you survive long enough. But, before your reach the stage I am at at, mak ethe memories you can while younger folks. That way when you get to where I am, being alone at almost 70 years old, my birthdya is one month from today, the memories you made when younger will carry you through.

Remember, it is not the presents or material things that count, yes they are nice to have, but it’s the intangiables in life that count the most. The one special person or persons, you love the most, that you spend time with. The one you want with you each day and night, the ones that make you smile and make you feel right.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

December 22nd, 2025, and Christmas is now a few days away. The hustle of the Shopping Season is still in full swing folks, so be careful out there. As The Trees twinkle and Decorations hang and people laugh as carolers sing, remember the meaning of Christmas is not what you bring or get, it’s about the family and friends you can’t forget.

As a kid I loved the Christmas Holiday and I would rush to and fro, like most I know, and get presents for all I could. If I couldn’t buy them something I would try to make them something, to show I cared. Thats what Christmas is folks, sharing, caring, laughing, have fun, with family and friends and getting it done.

This 2025, Christmas is filled with some fears for many. Food prices are up, shopping prices have risen, and instead of Joy and Happiness, for many there is the question of how do I pay my bills and where and how do I eat next! Sadly, this is not the America I grew up in folks, and although, I love my country and served her for 16 years, I find it sad, looking around and seeing all the tears and fears.

The best I can do as an man who is 69 and going on 70 mind you, is stay alone at home and try to relax. I don’t buy gifts for anyone anymore, since my wife passed in 2021, from Cancer. There is no one in my mind who can replace her and I basically stay alone. I watch tv and ball games and play on my computer, or X-box, or Meta Quest 3 now. I am intelligent enough to understand, at 69 going on 70 no woman wants an old man. The dating scene for seniors sucks, it’s hard to even get a answer on a dating site, and you don’t meet many people in day to day activities if your like me. I go grocery shopping, as needed, and Doctors too. I do Bowl in a Senior League and try to have fun. I play pool in a Clubhouse where I live. Other wise I read, watch tv and play video games, build puzzles is all.

As this Christmas comes in and people laugh and cry, kids will get happy and some will sigh. All should remember, that the biggest gift you can give to anyone, at this time of year, is your pressense, your being there. The gift of you giving of thyself, is above anything else. Sharing your laughter and your jokes, your assistance and knowledge, helps the most. The time you share is how you show you care, and that my friends makes Christmas worth, all the care. It is not how much you spend for gifts, for many do not have the cash, It’s not the material things that count. What counts is who your with, how you interact and that your with those you love.

Christmas wasn’t all commericail, always folks. There were the days when people would not be buying, because money was tight. Yet, all survived the wet cold snowy Christmas Nights. We had fireplaces lit, and cozy places to sleep, and food that we knew, we could eat. We didn’t have presents underneath the tree, but, it was still a special time for myself and family. So, remember the spirit of it all, and remember that time will go on, after all.

I hope all have someone to share it with, and all enjoy every moment. From me to All, Across the World, who celebrate Christmas and this time of Year, Merry Christmas and Good Cheer!

December 20th, 2025, as we head to Christmas in 5 days if you count today, I want all to think about what it means to the world. It is a holiday actuallt set in religions of all kinds. It all means the same to each of us no matter what religion we follow or preach. The Resurrection, and the love that came from it and the forgiveness of all our sins.

It is also a day and holiday for joining, eing together, with family and friends. It a time for giving and recieving also. I think many think they must give big presents or gifts. The biggest gift any person can recieve is the love and caring of thos ethey love in return. The time spent with those are the best present of all. So even if you can’t afford to give gifts folks, remember, the holiday is not about giving or recieving, it’s about the gathering of family and friends. To celebrate waht all of you do together as a family unit and as friends. It doesn’t have to cost ya a fortune. And if you are even broke, the best gift you can give is love, understanding, company and companionship.So when someone says, you didn’t buy me anything, tell em you gave them the most precise gift of all you pressence and laughter and conversation.

What makes the Holidays Special is the people you spend them with, not the gifts you recieve those are just bonuses. The smiles, the laughter, the interactions with the ones you love most is what the Holidays are always about folks!

So from myself, this December 20th, 2025 and for thje Christmas and New Year Ahead, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Good Morning World, it is now, 12/15/2025 and we are 10 days. from the Christmas Holiday. As people run to and fro, and get ready for the big day. There are somethings many forget about this Holiday we call Christmas. It is not about getting presents folks, it is not wheither you go to church. What is the importance of Christmas you ask then? Well, I will tell you what I think, and you can agree or disagree, but, as I always say when I write a blog, these are my opinions and thoughts and I have a right to write them.

When I was a kid, Christmas was all family in my younger days. We had Mom and Dad and siblings you see, and each Christmas Morning we would rush to see, what was ours under the Christmas Tree. We loved having a Christmas Tree, We loved being with family, and hearing the laughter and joy you see. But thats not all that Christmas means to me.

We were never rich, so we had one another, whether it was dad and mom or sister and brothers. We would always, have that person to talk to, to laugh with, to turn to for help. As time moved on the presents became less important to me. What counted was being with those who were my family. The traditions of candy and big meals, and mom and dad, rushing to the stores to get the deals. All good memories you see. It is what was important to them, not so much me.

We always got clothing and sometimes toys, then books we would get,you see. Reading became a part of me, as time went on you see. Books and stories of happiness and glories. Santa and even Reindeer you see, were all as we know, a fantasy. It is a tradition to let kids, think it is real, this Santa Claus, who gives presents, in truth it is your parents and friends, that you will love till your end.

So, during Holiday Season as they call it today,remember the basics is what I say. Remember to be Thankful for family and for friends, Remember it something to keep close each day til the end. For it is the moments of love, happiness and laughter, that makes the Holiday Season, all you are after. That lil joke dad may tell, that lil hug mom may give, that lil stare or laugh from siblings you see. It’s not about the presents or money, it’s about who is in your life you see. So, as Christmas approaches this 2025, Don’t go crazy with money, or try to out do, remember from me and for you, the best gift anyone can recieve, is you being you and me being me. Be yourself, and have fun, that’s the way life should be and Christmas should be done! Let the snow fall if it may, light the fireplaces to stay warm by, too. Put up a tree or decoration or two. Wear a smile on your face, and be friendly and nice, for Christmas Time is for the warm times and family and friends, that make each day, worth living my friends. So, from me to all of you, this 2025 Holiday Season, or Christmas whichever you call it, I prefer Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, others will say Happy Holidays. No matter what you call it, it should always be a Special Time of the year!

I have not celebrated Holidays at all since my wife passed from breast cancer in 2021. I spend them alone at home, watching tv, and make sure I have food and drink for me. I miss my wife and all we had, but the memories we created and lived thru make me smile and not sad. So, to all. I Wish All A Very Merry Holiday Season/ Christmas and New year ahead. May your Holidays be filled with laughter and cheer! May you spend it all with those, you hold dear!

Happy Holidays/ Merry Christmas !!!!!!

Holidays and Christmas is what many say a special time of the year. It is a time for caring and giving, laughter and living. It is a time to reflect and remember, to give and exchange. In many ways it makes us all change. For some it is pure happiness, it’s wondering and hoping for what we may get. For other sit’s the time you spend with family and friends, that makes it all worth while, year after year time and again.

For me it has never been the same, as when I wa syoung you see. For overtime and I age, certain things get to me. I do not like crowds or parties, Too many people bother me. I suffer from ADHD and PTSD too you see. Now I do not burden others with them or me, for thats not the way I am you see. So, I just go day by day and night by night, being me which just feels right.

Some think, he doesn’t attend, he doesn’t get involved. It’s his own fault, he is alone, and one his own. They are right, it’s what I choose. I choose it so, I shall not bring others down, I will never be a burden or a pain in the ass to those i am around. So, I avoid big time, and stay alone. I spend my time at home. For everyone, Holidays mean different things. I understand it and I am fine with it of course, but like Mr. Ed, I am a different kind, of horse. I feel safer and more relaxed alone, my ADHD does not kick in as much and my PTSD, stays under control. So, this is the way I choose to go.

So, let me say this to those who may know me, or of me. Do not feel sorry for me, or be concerned. I am fine an dbetter off this way, over years of it, I have learned. As a kid, I didn’t love the Holidays and I still do not today. Chaotic and crazy is what I call it. And I stopped doing Holidays of any kinds many years ago now. Even when my wife was alive, I stopped, for I could handle it no more, I would do it for her is all. Now she has been gone since 2021 and I have not celebrated Holidays since 2020. Instead, I stay alone with my memories of my mother and wife, both who were vital in my life. I would rather stay alone and live with the memories, then to be a burden, a pain, or a bother to any other. The peaceful silence of being alone, is good for my soul.

So, to all, I wish a Happy Holiday Season, A Very Merry Christmas of course! I hope when the New Year arrives, it bring all Good Luck and Happiness and Love too. 2026 is on it’s way, and I am getting older each day, as we all are you see. But, in the end, it’s each day, that counts more to me.

December 6th is upon us this 2025 is quickly rolling to an ending. As time ticks on, I wonder many times over, how bad the USA will become. We lost The Department of Educations, we’ve lost respect the world over, out economy is failling, and jobs are disappearing as left and right. IMmigration control is out of control, they are deporting people they have no business doing it to. I am not saying not to deport at all, I am saying do it right and legally. On top of all of the above, Medicare and Medicaid are under attack, Health Insurance rates are rising for all. Add in, when ya stop and look, and your food prices are rising and affordability is crazy. People are struggling to pay food prices, rents and bills they already have. And here we are in the Holiday Season again, and price sare higher than before, and people can get less for their money, becaus eof it and the value of the american dollar is shrinking. That all said whats next right?

I picked up my Iphone this am and looked at it, to check calls and etc. On my screen come supa picture of George COnway, and what he says about President Donald J. Trump. Yes, Trump is a pathilogical liar, yes, Trump is losing it , Yes Trump is a narciist. Everything is Trump thois and Trump that, name this after me he says, change the East Wing of The White House toa Ball Room, Rename The Kennedy Center to theTrump/ Kennedy Center really? What the hell is all this?

Attacking boats in the oceans off the coasts of countries, sinking em and double tapping a target to make all are dead? Look I hate drugs like anyone else, but the rules of law and war are not to be bent and ignored as Trump and Hegseth has done here. You don’t break the Rules of Law or the Rules of War, not right, that boat and thos epeople wer eno threat to America of fthe coast of thei rown country. Who makes the USA God? OUr crazy ass, sleepy headed President we have now? He falls asleep at Diplomatic Dinners, Parties and in his own Cabinet Meetings!. But, Joe Biden was the problem right? Bullshit! I tire also of people like Scott Jennings and others, bending themselves into pretzels to support and back all Trump does. I wonder if Scott Jennings and his fellow Maga and Trump supporters ever look in the mirror and wonder what the hell they are doing and why? It’s sad to see a man do that to himself and with a smug smile on his face on public tv. But, like i say with any blog of mine that contains, politics in it, these are my personal opinions and thoughts, written out by me alone. You can disagree, you can come back with comments, and clal me names if you wish, for in america we still have seperation of church and state and freedom of speech. So there ya go folks.

In the end as the Holiday Season now begins in earnest, please enjoy it and I hope you can afford foo dto eat and presents to give, this coming Christmas. If you can’t just turn on your Television and listen to all Trump is doing to take it all away from you. God Bless all, till next time!

Well, Friday has arrived, the day after Thanksgiving and as all now know, it is Black Friday. It’s the biggest Shopping day of each year, as Americans look for deals and sales on many items for the upcomming Christmas Holiday, which is next. Be careful, folks, don’t overspend, and hurt your budgets, or your family expenses. It’s easy to go out and look at the salesm, and go oh that cheaper, I can get someone that, and buy iy, and then later look and go, damn I overspent. Money is tight an dit is gonna get tighter as food prices rise, utilities rise and rents too. The Economy sucks folks and it is not gonna get better anytime soon, as long as we are under the Current Administration and President. Instead of taking care of America and Americans, our President wants to solved all the wars in the world and make himself famous for doing so. America first I say.

Next, the NFL Season is now heading into week 13, and looks like we shall have some surprises in the playoffs, as far as teams go. And some surprises as to those we thought would make it and might not. IT’s always interesting to see how it goes each year and many bet on the games, scores and players, me I just watch and save my money. The best part of the NFL an dthe Game sis usually the unpredicatbilty of them. Some ya know who will win, others well ya do get surprised. Who would have thought, going ito week 13, New England would be back in, KC woul dbe on the .500 mark and the Ravens too! Someone explain the Colts rise too please and Denvers too. In the end that is what makes the NFL so much fun to watch.

Ok, whats next, I do not know, for me. I go day by day as many know. I try to get up each day and be as positive as i can, and carryon with a smile on my face when I leave my home. I do my shopping in the same place, very seldom go to Malls or stores i don’t need, and watch as many shut down or move now a days. Next moving is Apple in the Salamon Pond Mall, they are leaving. Money is tight folks and it is gonna get tighter as business’s move to better locations, and try to attract customers. Apple is nop stranger to this mode so to say, they know their proces are high and they need to go to where the money may be. Copmanies like Verizon for instance, coul dbe in trouble also with their higher prices for Internent and Cell Phone Services. They keep raising their Prices, and people keep paying, butt heir services are diminishing in many ways. At some pint elderly Americans like myself will just leave their services and go cheaper somewhere. No Sense paying for what you do not use, and no sense paying extra for something that doesn’t work all the time, when you want it.

Health wise i have been through some ups and downs for sure lately. My Back is not getting any better for sure, Six Herniated discs never will. So I suffer from those. Then I have sciatica in one hip, Blood Pressure problems, sugar problems and more. I survive day to day is all. The Miriacle of it all is somehow I am still going, even after having cancer in 2013 and surviving it, and losing my wife to her cancer. It’s a roller coaster, of determination, emotions, grieving and , high and lows for sure.

I keep being told i should find someone to date or be with, just for companionship. While i like the advice and thought, I also worry and avoid doing so. I worry about losing what I have, money wise, and being used. I also, know at my age of 69, women don’t look to be dating me. I am not Mr. Handsome, nor Mr. Funny, I am not a social butterfly, I am just an average guy is all. So, I basically gave up on finding a female companion, because most want a man for their money, or for their physical abilities to fix their cars or homes, not just to have someone. There is always some demand or want that comes into play. And Yes it does go two ways ladies and I know it. The women do have the same worries and concerns in return. Plus in America today, most are on Dating Apps online, many do not date without them. It’s like a job interview when you go that way, no fun. been there, done that, and I gave up on it all.

So whats next, well, taking care of myself daily. Being comfortable in my own home and skin. Being me! Each dya is a new one folks and when you get out of bed, your eyes open and you can stand and walk and talk and eat, your ok to be on your feet. Make decisions that are good for you and you alone, unless your married of course. Make sure you keep up with your medications, Doctors and if you can exercise as you do. Treta others as you would like to be treated and try to be friendly and nice. I have always believed in that, if you do treat others like you like to be treated, you will be fine. Avoid, trouble, stay legal, and smile some. Makes life a little easier for you and all around you. And Welcome to the Holiday Season of 2025. I pray and hope all have a great Season of Happiness, Joy and Family and Friends. May the Holiday Season bring us all, some Joy in 2025!
