Losing count of the days of my life?
If I were in a confessional in the 1960s I would have started off with "Bless me Father for i have sinned it has been a week since my last confession...." This blogging stuff is sort of a confessional if one were to tell the truth, "the whole truth...." But We are selective what we share. I confess I am not a practicing Catholic anymore. But I certainly enjoy the fairs/festivals that they put on to raise funds for a new roof or something worthy like supporting their school or congregation. I enjoyed taking my grandchildren to such a fair on Friday night.
My grandson is 12 and his buddies are older. He felt appreciative that I sent him on his way with some tickets to go on a few rides and some money to buy food to hang with his friends. I was appreciative that his buddies acknowledged me with hugs and sincere handshakes and that the food was reasonably priced. I was also glad to watch my granddaughter on some rides that were too risking for my middle-aged neck, but I got to enjoy going on the merry-go-round with her and watch her do a few dances to an Irish jig band.
I remember my Catholic upbringing very well. It was good, wholesome and very meaningful. The meaning of life can be dulled as we get older because it is hard to keep up. It takes more time to read, write, clean, cook, run errands, etc. But one thing I intend to keep up with is technology and to learn from the young people who have a handle on how to use the Internet. I believe there are wholesome people out there who are making a difference and leading the way for others to live as God has planned for us and that is with a purpose until our last breath is taken.
My purpose seems to be evolving, and I am not sure where the "Artist's Way" will lead but here is a clip from a young many who has inspired me. I hope that he will inspire you too:

There is a new world for us in the future, and our future develops from what we do today. "Do Something" today that will help you get closer to what you think is your purpose.
