Hello Friends,
Now that I am older and less able to engage in life as I once did, memories often fill my days. Circumstances have left me with most of my friends and relatives no longer "with us." So what do we, older people who prefer not to watch TV reruns and old movies all day or feel nostalgic all the time? I would instead still engage in life for real, but that seems to be a challenge for me now.
Imagination, dreams, and fantasies can go a long way for me these days. I can imagine what I used to do or would do if given the chance. On the more exotic side, I can be creative with my imaginings to the point that they become pure fantasy. The best internal experience comes in dreams, especially if I am fortunate to have lucid dreams.
In dreams, I can be as I was when I was young and athletic, able to accomplish things that are a bit of a challenge for an old man. I can do things beyond possible, like fly around and travel the earth at will to unique places (better than with virtual reality goggles).
So, I am off on another adventure as my day permits when I am not "minding the farm."
