Most of my life I have been an attentive, giving and generous man. At 60, I’m surprised at how self-centered have become.

    I’m 55. I was a potato couch until 47. Then I discovered the outdoors, the mountains, the sea, the rivers. Turns out I hated gyms not exercise and I am passionate about nature.

    I was never interested in clothes. Then I found out about second hand stores. Turns out I hated current fast fashion, not clothes.

    I used to argue a lot, now I don’t bother. Some people do not deserve the compliment of rational opposition.

    Was reading various books, articles, web sites, to try to understand my autistic step son. Realised that I met the criteria for autism and ADHD, explains why so much in my life has been difficult and weird. Not formally diagnosed, it’s pretty obvious when you know what to look for, and I don’t think it would help. FML

      This is the day I labeled myself ‘old.’

      I was feeling a bit hungry, but couldn’t decide what i wanted to for a snack.

      Peanut butter and jelly. No

      Sausage and pepper hero? No

      Pancakes? No

      Sardines and raw onions. Hell yes! And wash it down with a coffee soda!
