What is
NOW?
Now is
nothing,
through which the future passes into
the past. Yet now is the only moment we know.
But to be in that moment,
to have
our attention be here, now; not caught up in the past or the
future, not caught up in worry or concern,
to be at peace with what is,
to know that still center about which
time turns, Ah, that is our challenge.
So hard,
because
we are so easily lost in thought. So easy,
because
it is right here, all there really is. All we need to do is
notice
what is notice what it feels like to be in a
body,
the air against the skin, the sounds around.
Not to label them
and start
another train of not-now Simply experience the sensations, as
they are. Author unknown

If you want an easy way to take a photo of rings & things go to Wal-Mart or to OfficeMax and get a packet of poster sticking stuff. This is for s ticking notices or photos to bulletin boards or walls without damaging the site you are attaching something to.You can soften it up a nickel size ball by rolling it in your hand. than flatten it a bit. Than you set your ring in it the way you want to photograph it. It is easy to adjust it to the best lighting and perhaps to show the inner markings of the object you wish to photograph. The above example is a wedding band that I wanted to show the inside markings. It is very easy to clean off and you will surely like this method.

FOR US OLD GUYS
|
OLD
The other day a young person asked me how I felt about being old. I was taken aback, for I do not think of myself as old. Upon seeing my reaction, he was immediately embarrassed, but I explained that it was an interesting question, and I would ponder it, and let him know.
Old Age, I decided, is a gift.
I am now, probably for the first time in my life, the person I have always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometime despair over my body, the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt. And often I am taken aback by that old person that lives in my mirror, but I don't agonize over those things for long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly As I've aged, I've become more kind to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend. I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so avante garde on my patio.
I am entitled to overeat, to be messy, to be extravagant. I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or
Play on the computer until 4 a.m, and sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60's,
And if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love ... I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the bikini set.
They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when a beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turn gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver. I can say "no," and mean it. I can say "yes" and mean it.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong.
So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day.
