70 AND OLDER
REFLECTIONS ON THESE INTRIGUING YEARS
Staying Upright
A recent fall has me more aware of being careful, that includes reducing my stress. I’m cutting back on social media that’s only interested in grabbing my attention with their “panic of the moment”. I prefer happiness.
One Nation — Divided
With our current tribalized culture, it’s easy to forget that one side has legitimate, immediate, concrete, pressing grievances. Sometimes our fears and anxieties block the truth, that our common ground is enormous, our differences small.
Two Weeks in Europe
I’d promised each of my grandchildren a two week trip anywhere, when they turned 14. Here’s my latest adventure.
The “Cheap Products” Shell Game
Homeowner insurance cancellations are one of many prices we are paying for decades of cheaper products resulting from cost savings by corporations not treating their waste, i.e. dumping pollutants. What goes around, comes around.
The Coming Population Decline is an Opportunity
The upcoming global population decline changes the rules for climate change discussions. Fewer people will bring a less stressed, more habitable planet, and end our growth based economy. It’s a golden opportunities for our culture, the planet, and new leaders.
Accepting
I’ve seen enormous changes in global population, consumerism, and climate change. We can accept human nature and our consumer culture, while actively contributing to peace and greater sustainability.
Visiting The Red Zone 2
At a wonderful Ohio family visit, some jarring behavior reminded us how we each stick to our comfortable tribes, and how disconnected we can be from the reality of people in other tribes and to our shared humanity.
Is My Life As Good As It Can Be?
Asking, “is my life as good as it can be?” led to some changes, and reflections about how much I like structure, and being busy.
The Biggest News of 2023
The world population will peak sometime between 2065 and 2085. Then it will plummet. That’s good news indeed, because feeding and maintaining the planet’s exploding population brings so much planet-wide destruction.
Family Visit
Our recent smoke-filled road trip through Oregon and Washington brought home the climate change message, “Get Used to It.”
