Legacy Writing 365:294


Just another of many things I was going to learn/undertake to do over the years. I never did, and sometimes I wonder why the books are still on my shelves.

Then I remember that my father had three new careers when he was older than I am now.

Lillian Carter joined the Peace Corps at age sixty-eight.

Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote her novels in her sixties.

Stan Lee was forty-three when he began drawing super heroes.

Grandma Moses began painting in her seventies.

So…never say never!

  1. Based on repeated failed attempts in the past, I doubt if there is any chance of me becoming a figure skater. And even Renee laughs at me trying to walk down an icy sidewalk.

      1. Yes, it’s fun. I enjoy being able to “make music” and especially enjoy finger-picking as opposed to strumming. It’s also difficult and makes one appreciate those who do it well, making it appear so easy. I didn’t know when I started that there are about 42,000 guitar chord shapes. I know…maybe twenty.

        1. You’re on your way!

          I admire you. As long as you don’t make dogs run from the room (this happens when I sing to them), I say you’re doing great. =)

  2. I took a signing class when I was in college. I’ve used it with several patients we’ve had, and when Danielle was young and we were working with her speech I used it. It’s been pretty handy, even though I’m nowhere near fluent.
