My gosh, @ellu, you said that beautifully! " … everybody gets wrinkles eventually!" Attitude, attitude, attitude. Attitude is everything. The other morning, I awoke to find that my MacBook hard drive was empty of 98% of everything: my writing, my correspondence, all of my financial paperwork, et cetera, et cetera. All gone! When I'd tell friends, you'd think the Earth had just been struck by an asteroid. Oh, sure, I experienced a moment's OMG! But it didn't last. My moment's OMG! was quickly replaced by the thought: "A chance to start over!" I'm 81. I'm no fool. I know I haven't time to rebuild everything. Nor do I have the strength to do it. But I can do a lot. At the moment, I'm having a ball! So, thank you, @ellu, for your beautiful post! Reading your words added a little more sparkle to an already pretty good day. 🙂 –Ray (@ray666)

Your writing all gone and yet you are so chipper! The financials can be reworked, although it will be a pain.

The correspondence would be less important to me, but if I lost my commonplace book which is kept with pen and ink, I would be devastated.
