My health, thank god, is good and always has been. I have never been hospitalized for anything or even had any kind of a serious ailment. Colds knock me for a loop as I get older (hell, maybe they’re really bronchitis!), but that’s about all. But I do get a lot of aches and pains and don’t have the physical strength I once had, so you get to look forward to that part of things, Paul.<br /><br />But the one value we share will serve you well: we are both endlessly fascinated and involved with life. I went away from my writing and am now back to it, and twenty years from now, like you, I expect to still be doing it… if I’m actually here still doing! But as long as you’re learning, you’re growing. And as long as you’re interested, you’re ALIVE!Josephhttp://www.cft411.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-76001582437012295762011-08-16T10:20:05.766-04:002011-08-16T10:20:05.766-04:00I wasn't blessed with my Mother's eternal ...I wasn't blessed with my Mother's eternal patience but as opportunities come by one needs to be flexible enough to take advantage of them. Sometimes they pan out sometimes they don't so I guess I have a bit of patience- I just keep at it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139389687115551213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-91595901753311983822011-08-16T09:17:54.104-04:002011-08-16T09:17:54.104-04:00Patience is a designers trait (not exclusively min...Patience is a designers trait (not exclusively mind you). We talk in our office to the younger designers "don't fall in love with your own design" your sort of end game. Most of the time, the most interesting and rewarding aspects of life come from unplanned and unavoidable "opportunities" that present themselves to your chagrin.Bob @ Life of an Architecthttp://www.lifeofanarchitect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-39426958800625251912011-08-16T07:31:43.186-04:002011-08-16T07:31:43.186-04:00Patience really is the big thing you learn.. the s...Patience really is the big thing you learn.. the smart ones anyway. I have some younger friends and in the odd moments that turn to deeper life discussions, the skill of patience is the thing I tell them to work on most. I suspect many blow me off, but maybe in 20 years, they'll remember those brief conversations as well.. "That old dog wasn't so crazy after all," they will think. "Should've listened sooner."Rufus Dogghttp://www.dogwalkblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
