Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
My siblings will both live to well over 100 because they never spend one day without communicating with tons of people. I did while I was working so maybe that will count:-)
Actually, I think blogging does count. I have deep and satisfying relationships in blogging. Maybe I wouldn’t ask for a loan but I wouldn’t ask for a loan from almost anyone in my life.
Social interactions here are close to zero if blogging doesn't count, so I'm focussing on the next indicator, a group of people that I can call on for those things she mentioned. I have them. so I think that's going to help me. Also the fact my maternal grandmother lived to be 96 and ancestors before here all made it into their 80s
Ditto Lynn. Someday we will get together in person. I have had several chances to meet some bloggers and recently I met Cliff and Marilyn Morrow in person. Only Cliff doesn't blog anymore but we are all friends forever.
Of course blogging counts. Its a forum of free expression & creativity.Its also a platform for friendship,communication, leisure,pleasure & relaxation. I clicked on the video and and saw a script stating that it does not exist :(
Blogging always counts.
ReplyDeleteI agree:-)

DeleteOh yeah blogging counts.
ReplyDeleteI believe we could all gather and have more in common than with some of our other family and friends.

DeleteOF COURSE IT COUNTS!
ReplyDeleteHooray!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing my friend
It was an interesting TED talk.
DeleteOh wow! This was actually a surprise. More than exercise, hunh?
ReplyDeleteI heard a fellow say once that he lived so long because he smoked, drank beer and never washed his hair. LOL
DeleteHum--I have more pluses than I thought and yes, blogging counts.

DeleteWell, I am fortunate indeed. I have wonderful friends. But, yes indeed, i still ride my bicycle.
ReplyDeleteAre you communicating with people when you are out on your bicycle?
DeleteI certainly hope so!
ReplyDeleteI am guessing you have lots of communication with people about your wonderful photographs:-)

ReplyDeleteI was told to average the ages of your grandparent's deaths and add 10 years to find out how long you will live. I should make it to 96:-)
DeleteI would say it counts - you and my other blog friends are so important to me.
