New Attitude

Well, I'm going to try this again. I'm finding it really frustrating try to find my way around in computer and blog land. I've been out of the realm of computer ease for too long and boy am I rusty, not to mention there's been a lot of new stuff added in the last few years. Well, here goes. I just hope it goes where I intend it to, since I have no idea where my last blog has gone to. Perhaps the russians are having fun trying to decipher it as it creeps across their computer screen in some desolate, god forsaken part of Russia. It could happen I suppose!
Anyway, I am just now trying to figure out if it's possible for me to find my way around blogging. Here goes!!
My title says it all pretty much. I'm bound and determined to find a new attitude towards life in general. I'm an old geezer, and probably I should have figure a lot of things out way before this, but better late than never, I guess. As I've grown older I've realized just how little control we truely have over our lives. Pretty hard to believe that I never saw how true this is. For so long I have tried to figure out what I was doing wrong because things just didn't seem to be going the way I felt they should. Oh, boo-hoo!!! Well, not that I'm boo-hooing, in fact all things concidered, I've had a very good life. I'm just pretty dense about somethings. I really thought that because things weren't the way I felt they should be going that it was something to be depressed about, because certainly it was something I should have been able to better control the outcome of, or I should have done something different and then it would have staved off the bad times. But, I now realize, that try as we may and should, we often have very little control over the most hurtful and scarey things that come our way in life. And it's not something that we can control. It's only how we react and how we let it affect us that we have a hope of controling and then in a very real sense we control the quality of our lives. I don't know if any of this is making any sense to anyone, and I doubt that it comes as news to those who do understand what I'm trying to convey, but hey, it something I going to lend a bit of attention to, and see if I can master how my attitude towards life is. Hopefully, it will mean less days of being depressed and more days of enjoying each day of life I'm given. Anyway, writing this was something I wanted to share in hopes that others out there might also find a way to have a new attitude, and a better outlook on life. Good luck all!! Bye for now.
