Horological Meandering

I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself? He sent me the following: 1. After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself. 2. I hav... 

I am printing this out and sharing it with the family. Many thanks!

...and while I have a bit to go before I hit 70, I am beginning to loosen up quite a bit...

which resonate for me the most, despite all of the points being wise statements for anyone to uphold: 'I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perf... 

They keep saying 50 is the new 40, so I’m just 3 years more than you, lol….I wished 😊

I still can’t do all of the above.

PS: I just watch Horoguides YouTube on Redbar + MAD Gallery and I noticed a familiar watch 😉

" Peace is more precious than perfection." Really stands out to me. Thank you for sharing this!

. . . is enough to cut my evening short. Especially if it's one of my better t-shirts. ...  

is for people who don't have a style of their own . Cheers to that sentiment!! Filip

Why not use the opportunity to remove the shirt and show the macho side 😅😊

beautiful lady friend of yours? Must be being a popular WPS moderator ? 😃

not your lady friend? 🥲

. . . she is a friend, but not 'more' than that, Gordon. Sorry to disappoint ;-) . . .

had it made !

...at the Ritz. My kind of place : )

Many thanks for sharing! Am about to turn 50 this year but all of those thoughts resonate deeply with me... Will share them with those around me 😊

I always believe it is like a mirror, when you smile, the image smiles back. Thank you!

words of wisdom !! Thanks for sharing !!!

Enjoy more good things in life, cheers Gordon!

These thoughts really resonate - in particular #6. Still need to work on that... (not to mention a few others!)

But seems we get adverse effects. Active listening is a great skill I have yet to master. You’re very welcome.

I will share with friends.

Thank you and have a great week ahead.

Many thanks for these wise words. To be honest (and not too humble 😎) I think that I have already realized many of your points a few years ago (when I started to behave like an adult = when I got around 50 🤣). And I try to live them. But it also happens a... 

I’m not far and catching up on you in terms of wisdom 😊 Yes I do need reminders at times with all the distractions around too. Cheers and Enjoy! Raymond

How did he remember all of that??

What’s your name again Mike?

Mike?

Doesn't help either that I have the attention span of a 6 year old 🤣🙊🙉🙈

Far too often we find ourselves in a race that only we are running. Sometimes I have to remind myself to stop, breathe, look around and appreciate the things we have and not the things we desire.

We tend to anticipate the next one so I make it a ritual to wear all my watches. Life is too short and everyday is one day less to be with love ones. Enjoy, my friend!
