Just A Thought

 Family are people with whom a real and important connection exists regardless of how infrequently they may see or even sometimes communicate with each other.

I asked DeepArt for a “Beautiful image”.  I guess it knows that I love water.  A lot of the colors are unrealistic but I still think these images are beautiful.  I added one actual photo as a mystery to be solved.  Hmm, which image is real? The image below must be planet purple.  If I remember correctly, there was a planet purple on the PBS children’s program “Mr. Rogers Neighborhood”. This must be planet colorful. This must be the planet of bioluminescent waters.  Cool.  I would definitely be into that. More planet, purple.  

TV Series.  I don’t even want to watch them.  I started watching one on Netflix today because I had read something about it, but I should have known better.  I should have spent my time cleaning out stuff instead.  If a program is about something that really interests me, it might be different, but I got tired of all the fictional story type series.  I don’t like that they are like soap operas, where the stories continue from episode to episode and season to season.  I liked it better as it was in bygone days when each episode of a program was complete in of itself.  Only once in a while was there a “to be continued” episode and those episodes were almost always only two programs long.  A lot of the series now start off good, but then just become really bizarre as if life itself isn’t bizarre enough.  The writers go overboard in adding all sorts of crazy plot twists, and additions, that take away from the initially good story themes.  Even when this isn’t the case, I just find the stor

 I am officially 57 today.  Two years ago when I turned 55, I was actually excited about it for a silly reason.  I was not excited that all my younger adult years were behind me.  I was excited that I now qualified for AARP discounts anywhere the required age was 55+.  There aren’t that many places where the senior discount age begins at 55, but Denny’s is one of them and I like to go to Denny’s once in a while.  I could also rationalize that I was a brand new old person.  Fast forward two years.  I am still not that far away from 55 but I can only see this going in one direction.  It’s one of those things that can’t go backwards.  I would still prefer to be a newbie rather than a seasoned old person.  (I was just told that my other option is to have a lobotomy. 😂 I was using speech to text.)  Anyway, I think I just need an attitude adjustment.  In previous centuries and millennia, growing old was something that only happened to the most fortunate of people.   Que sera sera whatever w

 I am amazed that AI technology can create an image like this in just a few seconds! 

 When I find old unopened paper utility bills, that have already been paid, as I am cleaning out stacks of paper clutter, I do not need to open them to look at them.  They were already paid, so I can just tear them in half and throw them away.  As part of a New Year’s resolution, I need to not question, or rather I need to better exercise, my own judgment about silly things like that.  I will not find anything inside, already paid, old paper bills that I need to know or pay attention to.  I need to check to see if I can go paperless with these.  The same is true of things like frequently received AARP life insurance offers.  Oh yes, and there are endless credit card offers that arrive in the mail also.  I do not need to open and look at this stuff before throwing it away.  I won’t miss anything important.  And nowadays, we should be able to find whatever information we need online anyway.  I can devote my attention and time saved, by not worrying about needlessly accumulated clutter, t
