Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?
I have noticed a drop-off in available energy
over the past few months.
I am not up for doing much
and recovery between activities
is a necessary call to make.
I have reached the point of allowing
others to make allowances for me,
and minding not if I have to pass
on invitations and going places.
Going places in particular is noxious,
and I don't find anything anywhere
that is the least bit attractive.
I'm tucking myself into my declining years,
trusting that they will allow me to take my time.
I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.

And thanks to YOU for your kind words, Gratia! May nothing ever happen to (any of) us that we can’t flip into “Okay, now what?” and keep going!
