I turned 40 last month and everyone is saying oh your 40s will be exciting. Nope. I feel like each year that passes is even more boring than the previous year. And I don’t mean boring like I have nothing to do. I mean psychologically boring. I always have plenty to do. I want to know when life started to feel boring to you guys and what did you do to remedy it? I feel like I’ve experienced everything except marriage and children and no good on that front as I seemingly grow distant from men each year that passes as well. I’m becoming LESS of what they want.

Thanks for this beautiful song, one of my favorites.

For those of us who have, did crossing into your 50s change you much? After making it past 50, did your outlook on Life and attitudes about it change?
Well, some things changed for me, physically and mentally. I’ve made a list. Perhaps it was the same for you too?

Things I now avoid doing as much as I once did:
* Watching, listening to and reading negative news broadcasts (local & international)
* Exercising on purpose (no gym, no yoga, no swimming)
* Buying low-fat and sugar-free foods (some taste ‘blah’, and are a waste of money)
* Worrying about eating 3 ‘square’ meals a day, drinking 8 glasses of water and getting 8-10 hours of sleep each day (don’t think it makes sense at this age)
* Accepting the opinions of medical ‘experts’, scientists, etc (about the health of my own body/mind)

Some of the things I’ve started doing more often than I once did:
* Letting the ‘chips’ fall wherever, and procrastinating (the world wouldn’t end if I do)
* Being patient with myself
* Being open-minded about the lifestyle choices of others
* Questioning established societal and religious ‘norms’ (some things just don’t make sense anymore)
* Accepting what Life ‘hands’ me and making it work
* Enjoying time doing absolutely ‘nothing’ except thinking, writing, watching, listening (just ‘being’)
* Expressing my thoughts through my writing (poems, blogs, etc), and sharing with/learning from others whilst chatting online

Many of these changes have helped me to enjoy better peace of mind, and general health. Adopting a pet added to my daily routines (and monthly expenses ), but that has also helped.

What about you?

I dream in color and most of my dreams are realistic. Normal stuff. I've jammed with other musicians, had conversations with friends and family. Discussed things about work. A few times I know what my day would be like because my dream the night before gave me a clue. Not a premonition, but enough sequence that I 'got the gist' something was coming up.

Years ago, I worked for a company and decided to leave because it was extremely hectic and I felt like I wasn't getting support from management... I waited for them to hire a replacement before leaving and a few months after, I was told the replacement wasn't working out and to PLEASE come back!
I did and the night before my fist day back I had a dream of meeting a blonde haired woman wearing a blue business suit. It was in a corporate environment and she was basically complaining to me about work that wasn't finished.
100% accurate. I was sent to meet a designer they started doing work for shortly after I left and she was very busy meaning it was potentially lots of work for us. So, I had to go to salvage the account.

Two days ago, I was dreaming I had the refrigerator door open and I was looking around. I do that often, open the door (letting cold air out) and stare for a few minutes... strange, but not a big deal for a dream. In the dream, I saw a package of English Muffins. I've been avoiding bread products to lose weight and thought "How did they get here?"
The first thing I checked when I got up was to see if English Muffins were in the refrigerator. Nothing!
Yeah, I've got some in there now!!

Well, it doesn't matter who you are, you can still have adulterous relationships and become king of England and the commonwealth. And supreme governor of the church of England. According to previous interviews on TV Charles admitted his relationship with Camilla, who now becomes Queen consort. The marriage to Diana had apparently irretrievably broken down.
It was definitely a CROWNAFFAIR.

There are very very lot of sayings that have come from Mankind since the beginning of his time And most of them are really way out here ,But the crazy on of them all I'd say is this one
It sticks out like a sore Thumb
Can somebody out there please give us an explanation of what this saying means?
How can somebody tell us how one can tell that someone has a Sore Thumb?
And if you don't mind can you explain all of the other sayings that can be challenged as to their meaning?

In fact, whether men or women, what makes people addicted is not how much money they have, but the sincerity, steadiness, responsibility, and sense of detail they show from the inside out, as well as their unique preference. Only those who really care about you will be willing to take care of your emotions, stand with you, share weal and woe, and have you in the planned future. Contentment also makes progress, in order to be worthy of all your love. Later, what fascinated me more than my heart was my peace of mind.

Has anybody ever encountered famous People in their lifetime? I have met personally around 7 Famous people in my lifetime and i unknowingly until years later went to school in 7th and 8th with one of them.
Has anybody out there encountered any famous people?

You inherit more than just their body.

Here are some of the things that I have thought of that you inherit when you find a life partner....maybe not inherit directly, but maybe also indirectly.

You inherit their:

their debt
their criminal history
their health
their family
their wealth
their hate
their love
their personality
their enemies
their friends
their philosophy on life
their disease
their headaches
their positive glow of energy
their caring
their dislikes
their hygiene
their filth
their education
their ignorance
their burdens
their resources
their touch
their coldness
....everything about them

Of course....you give equally.

It makes me wonder, is that why hook up culture is so prevalent today? Have people become too ugly for a lifetime partnership? Or, have they become too selfish to take on another's "everything"....or too greedy to share their "everything." Or is it...they are too busy to take on or share their "everything." No matter what it is...it should tell you something about them.

Just a little something....

Happy Friday all.

Three meals for two in one room four seasons.I'm making trouble,He is laughing.Go for a walk together in the summer evening.On the way home,I bought a watermelon by hand,You said, "it's too heavy. Let me carry it."At first, I liked appearance,And then indulged in talent,Finally, I was convinced by the threeoutlooks.
He has money, love and children. I adore him like a hero.He dotes on me like a child.
