Q For Today: Is There Anything Different in Your Life Compared to 5 yrs. ago?

Tweet

One thing about our life it's always changing. As the years pass by, we experience different things, some of our own making, others unexpected. It might be something simple, like learning a new hobby or activity, or it could be a life changing event, like the death of a loved one. But as Robert Frost summed it up "life goes on." If you're thinking about changes in your life some events, I seen suggested were travel, fitness, family, job or new discoveries/routines. Thinking about things that have changed for me over 5 years, I can share the following examples. 1. HOME REPAIRS ---I had my kitchen redone adding new cabinets, tiled backdrop, and range hood to replace old ones. I also am in the process of having patio doors put in and repairing the gutters adding guards to keep the leaves out. Owning an old home always requires maintenance doesn't it. 2. TECHNOLOGY ---I finally replaced my antiquated flip cell phone (yay) with a Motorola G Android model. Nothing fancy but a step up for sure. 3. HOBBY/ACTIVITY ---I was an avid tennis player and H.S. and College coach in my younger years, but older age and wear and tear finally caught up with me. So, I started playing PICKELBALL and really enjoy it. Lots less court to cover too. lol 4. FAMILY LOSS ---My dad passed away at 98. He lived a great life and stayed active playing golf until 93. I became his frequent golf partner over the years even though I was really bad. Dad was always encouraging to me when we played, and his enthusiasm for golf rubbed off on me. I miss him. He was not only a father but best friend too. 5. RENEWED RELATIONSHIPS ---My older brother bought the home my parents lived in to use as a summer retreat. He's semi-retired now and seeing him over each summer has brought us a lot closer together. As Michael J. Fox said, "Family is not an important thing. It's everything." In my case I found out that's true. So, there you go, 5 years and 5 new things. What changes/things can you come up with? ... Photo- Tiny Buddah
