Happy Fourth of July week to all. I hope all have great barbecues and family fun tomorrow and over the weekend!
I wonder where there are fireworks happening in the area, being new to it bascially, only been here in Westborough for a lil over three years now. i will have to look it up to see, anyone know or have any ideas where and when?
Anyway, time goes on folks and I am getting older and I feel alone these days for sure. since my wife passed in 2021, I have basically stayed alone. I think I dated four women once a piece is all. Seems, either I am too old, ugly or afriad to step over any lines with them, so I basically, wander on. Being 69 I see no rush in finding anyone tpo be with, and it seems the women here in this area are either taken or not looking. Thats ok, I shall survive.
I do my thing is all, which is bowling, play pool and read, write and walk when I feel like it. I am not a big social animal and I basically run from huge crowds. Just not my thing is all. Would rather a quiet date is I date, like a movie or dinner or lunch. I do miss companionship, the touch and conversation of course, and it does get lonely. Yet, I also know in today’s society andclimate, people my age can be taken for money and more, so I am very careful. Who wants to be used or abused or taken, no one if you get my drift. Too many hustlers and more out there.
As to dating sites, I looked at em online and found, that many are not who they say they are on them, and they lie on their profiles and some even put up false photos. Sadly, when you attempt to meet them they are not who they say they were, and they don’t look the same. It’s a sad world, where this happens, but, it does.
I must admit though, I have had a decent life and done ok. I have been married twice, had two children and my life has been full. Married twice for 40 years between em, is not bad for a 69 year old ya ask me. But hey who am I right. I served my country for 16 years, own numerous DD-214s, that are Honorable and i am proud of it all. I even went back to college at 37 years old and graduated at 40 to get a Degree in Hotel Management. So I did ok, considering I am a Phi Thetta Kappa member and a Alpha Beta Gamma member too.
I did what was right by my second wife as she fought cancer for 16 years. I stood by her, took her to tests, Doctors, Chemo and Radiation, and even took her to her final resting. I hospiced her at home in the end, so she would not pass, in a cold enviroment of a Nursing Home. I did what I thought was right and no one can deny, I took good care of her.
Now at 69 I live alone in a condo of my own here in Westborough, Massachuetts. Never thought I would be alone at 69, and single again but I am as a widower now. I clean my own place as needed, cook for myself, go to my doctors and shop for myself. I bother no one an dno one bothers me. I play pool, oncea week, I bowl twice a week. and the rest os the time I write, read, build puzzles, and walk when I can. I see my Doctors as required. So my life is slow, uncomplicated, and a lonely one. I do miss having female companionship, I do miss having that special one to talk to at hime or to cuddle for a movie or take to dinner. But, I also know, what Elvis said ” Only Fools Rush In”.
Some have asked why I don’t havea girlfriend, it’s simple really, no woman wants a man 69 lol. So, I don’t chase women, I don’t ask them out, and i have never learned to flirt lol. So, I just be me and live my life the best I know how alone. Thats Life, thats what they say! Jsut ask frank Sinatra right he sang it. Lol !
Happy Fourth of July Weekend to all, especially to thoise who served, like me, we did what was right, and served our country, and Thank God we all existed and did so.
