Death

This has nothing to do with death, I just thought I would grab your attention! ha ha. Ok I won't do it again.
 Well I grew a bread , pretty long, the second time in my life I did this but now it is not dark brown anymore. Why grow one? I don't know, I just woke up and didn't want to shave and it started all by itself. I got my wife to take pictures of me the other night, then the next day I went to my barber shop in the old section of downtown where it must be 100 yrs old , a real barber shop even if two women run it now. She cut my shaggy hair short and trimmed the fool out of my bread and mustache. Now for more picts and put them on facebook and see who likes what. Maybe next I shave it all the way off and go back to clean face. I think all the grey on my face makes me look older, if that's possible.
 I started walking to keep in shape. I walked at a quick stroll for 1.1 mile around my neighborhood  taking about 30 minutes, including a short stop to meet and talk to another person doing the same thing. I found it was kinda fun ,but hard to motivate myself in doing it . Like it's hard to start doing pushups or sit ups. Feels like work and tires you out. So I wonder does it really help anything? I mean do you do them just so you can say you do them? Who really cares if you can do 10 or 15 pushups anyway? Why push your body to stay "in shape" ?  Why not just take it easy?  I remember my Dad saying people who exercise are all nuts and just wearing their body out, he lived to be 92 after retiring at 54 yrs old and never did anything much again but live his easy life style. So I am not sure what to do really.
 One of my granddaughters spent the night over the weekend, second time in a month she has asked to do this. She is really cool and really smart. We don't do anything special but my wife and I sure enjoy her being here. She has changed so much as she grows and matures. It makes me think of how much of life she still has to experience and live and I have already done that and can only look back and think , boy I wish I could do it again. But it makes me happy knowing she is a good one and is going to have a great life, full of wonder and loving people.
 I have tried to write some more songs but have failed in the attempt. I tried to sing & play a new one for my wife but she said it was just ok so, I hate to say it but have given up for awhile. I am just not blessed with that talent, nor of singing or guitar playing , but I wish I were. Sometimes I do things hoping someone will really like what I enjoy doing, is  that wrong? If so what should I do? I mean if someone you know really sings off tune or just has a bad voice do you tell them to sing anyway just because they want to and you suffer through it smiling at them? See what I mean? 
              Oh well, time to end this for now, I hope this finds you happy.
