A newspaper article wrote: "Live to a healthy 90, but how". One of the suggestions given:
KNOW YOUR PURPOSE: By articulating your values, passions, gifts and talents, you'll
be able to find a reason for living a longer and more fulfilling life".
I agree. This is one of the reasons in indulging in this blogspot. You are being given a space
to give expression to your feelings and views. That's the serendipity. It's a privelege and I
feel great and grateful.

I have been indulging in the hobby of carpentry for several years already. This is a very creative
hobby, very challenging; one needs lots of patience as one invariably makes mistakes and needs
to redo the project. And its most satisfying and one feels proud with the result; one feels triumphant!
The constructed piece could be a small table for the kitchen or a bookshelf - it's your own make!
Great! There are many magazines for wookworkers and you can really be busy and absorbed
with the projects. I'm passionate about this hobby - more on this later.

On 15th of February 2012, just a few days away, I'll be 74 years old. Just to recap,
on my life's journey: from age 20 to 55, working in the government service; from age
57 to 64 working in the private sector; from 65 till now as a pensioner.
Now with my wife, helping to take care of our grandchildren; from ages 12 to 1 year old.
This keeps us busy and we dote on the children. We are happy to be useful and its
important that we keep ourselves healthy.
As George Bernard Shaw stated: "I want to be thoroughly used up when I die .....
Service is the rent we pay for the privelege of living on this earth."

Here are a few words of wisdom which give me a deep impression:
"Man does not cease to play because he gets too old,
Man grows old because he ceases to play." George Bernard Shaw
"We have enough religion to make us hate,
but not enough to make us love one another." Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745)
"I do feel that all experiences, even if they are painful and unwanted,
can be enriching. I think unless you have known profound sadness,
you don't really know what profound happiness is. Perhaps you can't
have real joy and contentment unless you've known deep sadness too."
Princess Diana's mother, Francesi
"There is much tomfoolery in the practice of religion" Jawaharlal Nehru
"Man does not cease to play because he gets too old,
