Day two of my blogging. Thought I'd just answer a couple quick questions to get them out of the way.
First Question, Why am I blogging at all? The answer is two fold. First i decided to blog after seeing Julie and Julia.I figure if Julie"s blog became so popular it landed her a book deal and a movie, well maybe I can get lucky that way too. Secondly, I've done MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter...blogging is the next logical step in my electronic social media journey (and this journey will be the topic of a future post.
Second Question, Why have Growing Old Gracefully as the topic. Wll, everything I read and heard about blogging said be specific, pick a topic, don't be too general. So I picked the topic of growing old, because, well, I am growing old..or at least older.I figured that was specific, but that I could also get pretty general about what I talk about as long as I keep it somehow filtered through the lens of Growing old Gracefully. So I guess I chose that topic to cheat the whole topic system. If I want to talk music, I can filter it through "changes in musical taste as you age". If I want to talk baseball I can write about, "The aging Cubs fan, will we ever see a world series.". I can talk about "The politics of Aging" or "Aging and its effects on eating habits." You get the point. I picked aging so I can write about what I want to. Hope somebody will want to read my blogs...eventually...And by the way, thanks to the on person who checked out my blog yesterday, and even commented.
Anyway, tomorrow I will give you MY definition of Growing Old Gracefullly, and a few examples.

So Steve...growing old gracefully turned out to be what you did not get to ..how do you feel you are or you aren't growing old gracefully? How do you look at Eternity?
Consider a different METER if you will-such as Poetry or lists. Like "3 Ways I am Growing Old Gracefully" or "3 People that Grew Old Gracefully" also consider that your words may play a role in who has access ..that is to say if you wrote on your views of a current popular TV show...perhaps someone would google that and never know if your blog would pop up. Lord Bless you and your family..adam
