OMG! I'm 60!!!!

SIXTY!! I never dreamed I would be sixty years old. In all honesty, I'm almost 61 now, having sped through 2015 like a bat out of hell looking for a cactus flower. And what have I done? I'm happy to report that I'm in fairly good health. I didn't get skinny, I didn't quit smoking, but on the other hand I didn't get arrested for throat-punching anyone, so I have that going for me. I'm seriously thinking about starting to write my blog for "fun and profit" as they used to say. Usually, people will say they have no idea what to write about. I am just the opposite. I have tons of things that I would like to write about. The problem is...I don't know what people want to read about! I don't do politics, so that is out of the question. Dieting is something with which I am very familiar, but I'm certainly no good at it, so that should be a no-no as well. Money? Ain't got none! Don't have a green thumb, except for my beloved orchids. But I only have 6 of those, so telling you how I water them once a week and ignore them the rest of the time would probably be PRET-ty boring. So...here I am.. trying to decide what to say to make someone tell a friend, "hey did you read Karen's blog today?" I have talents I can write about. Painting and journaling and things like that. Would you want to read about those things every week? Would you like to see pictures of my journals and the things I have thrown in there just for fun? I tell ya what...I'm going to post this today, and I am inviting you to please go to my blog and read it from the beginning. A lot of the stuff is old...from 6 years ago when I first started. But I am asking that you read, and make comments on what I have written and just let me know if you think this is something that you would look forward to reading every week. Not just you, but maybe you would repost on Facebook or tell a friend. Can you do that for me? Thanks a whole bunch!!!! I'll be waiting to hear from you. Don't wait too long, though. I AM 60, after all. *wink-wink*
