I always try to remember how many people I personally know of who accomplished things in their 60s and beyond, but it's hard to believe it could happen to any of us who put in the same effort. I agree with Margot's comment, and sure do try to follow her advice (sometimes more successfully than others). D.J.

Each of our minds is a repository of unique experiences that should be shared with others. To not offer ourselves is selfish and a waste of personal resources.<br /><br />Keep on creating!<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722012954806248529.post-69305902353589809032015-08-06T19:07:36.234-03:002015-08-06T19:07:36.234-03:00The older you are, the more you've experience,...The older you are, the more you've experience, and the more you have to write about.

A choker-bunny is a person who sets beads. Beads are large metal balls that fit into an open bell shape - both of which are on the end of a long dangling line. You poke the end around these enormous fallen logs and then up again and fasten them round by putting the bead in the open bell shape. Then you get "out of the bite" which is the area in which the log could swing as it is hauled up or down a hill by a big machine. If you get clipped by one, it might be the last trip you'll ever make. The hard work is climbing up and over all those fallen logs to get to the safe area.

They tell us we're too young/old/busy/whatever to write. And they hold us back in a lot of other ways, too. Letting go of those recordings isn't always easy, but it's worth it.

That doesn't mean that I ignore age or try to act like a 20 or 30 year old. It simply means that I accept that life changes, my body changes but that doesn't mean to stop living, to give up fulfilling my purpose in life. <br /><br />So keep moving. You are doing a great job of overcoming your insecurities by thinking of all of the accomplishments that you have accomplish in the past. <br /><br />The experiences alone, written in a book, will help those who walk behind you, because you're leaving a trail with insight that they can evaluate and accept or not accept for their own lives. <br /><br />Shalom,<br />Pat GarciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.com
