My First Blog

WOO HOO!  My first blog.  Sounds like it should be a Hallmark Christmas ornament. 

I'm new to this blogging thing.  But I've read a lot of them, mostly through Facebook postings from friends passing on new Blogs they like.  I hope I have time left to write my thoughts. 

Getting old sucks.  Especially after you've had a "mandatory" triple bypass.  It was a good thing, probably saved my life.  But during the recuperation period, I lost my 39 year old son to cancer.  So 2010 was not a good year. 

But life goes on.  You get older and then you realize you have no one that cares what you leave behind.  What happens when I die?  My husband certainly doesn't want any of my crap from my past life.  My son probably would have looked through it, gotten a few laughs, saved a couple of things, and then what?  I've come to the realization that all the stuff I have means nothing any more.  Some good memories, yes, but those are in my head and heart.  Maybe I should keep all my stuff in case I get Altzheimer's so I will remember who's who in my past!  Who am I kidding?  Not gonna happen.

Wait - I'm getting too maudlin.  Blogging should be more fun.  Enough with the whining about getting old sucking.  Sometimes it really ROCKS!  When you're old, you can do and say whatever you want and people either laugh and say you're cute or laugh and say you're old.  Win-win situation!  I definitely like to make people laugh.  No sound is better than laughter, especially when I am the one causing it.  I always felt that it was much better to have people laugh at me than to laugh at someone who can't take it and doesn't deserve it.  Like people who are "different" for whatever reason.  None of us is perfect and to laugh at life's imperfections, no matter how slight or obvious they are, is just not right.

So stay tuned to my blog.  Pass it on to others.  Hopefully, it will make you laugh or even cry.  I just think it's time for me to blab on a blog.  Thanks for reading!
