Live life for the moment because everything else is uncertain!
Louis Tomlinson
When I meet people and tell them I have a blog they ask what it’s about and I guess when I tell them anything and everything I pretty much have it right….but stay tune for some ideas on why I blog and what it generally is about after my usual OUTLANDER SURVIVAL HINTS:
Oh and all pictures today are from my train trip from York to Edinburgh.

Even as we get older, we get in these routines – and routines are nice and comfortable – but I think that it’s important to live life to its fullest and try different things. Because you never know what you’re going to learn. You might not like it, you might like it.

First of all don’t know what all this BS about Outlander is: Don’t have Straz—you can purchase the show on Amazon—check it out: https://www.amazon.com/Sassenach/dp/B00SXK8R6S/ref=DVM_US_RP_PS_TKOUTLANDER?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1455261452&s=instant-video&sr=1-2
OK NOW FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE GOING THRU WITHDRAWALS AND SUCH:
I LOVE THAT ONE.
But let’s get back:
You could take up fencing—-just buy a sword and keep rewatching the shows Jamie fences in.
Here’s a start: Episode 5 in season two: http://www.enstarz.com/articles/148259/20160314/outlander-season-2-jamies-big-spoiler-left-out-of-untimely-resurrection-episode-5-teasers-video.htm
I’m not going to tell you the rest—that’s time you’re not in withdrawal so it’s all good
Check out these spoilers to see what you can expect from Season 3:
Watch Claire Choose Jamie again—I love when she wakes him up and he sheds a tear….so yum.
It’s not about what you tell your children, but how you show them how to live life.

I write about so many thing, but it’s all basically to help you find what you enjoy in life—it’s all about helping everybody–including myself who sometimes get the just lay around and watch TV or play on the stupid computer—after all it take less effort, cost less money and generally doesn’t raise a sweat—-but while TV—like the fun of OUTLANER (along with the books that I read that it’s based on) and computers are not a bad thing…NEITHER ARE THEY LIVING…in fact they are more like an excuse not to—-I have heard mother’s say that their children have on line friends—Jamie Fraser is probably less fiction than those friends and I insist that friendship is not completed unless you actually meet the person—for without that the two people are merely phantom friends.
Now I am fully aware that not everyone’s getting a life goes along the same guidelines as mine….while I enjoy writing and travel, art shows, buying and selling trinkets, and most thing British. I would not fault you for enjoying watching movies, going to yogi classes, working with disabled children and doing an occasional amateur production of anything from Shakespeare to your own weird written prose.
All I ask is you find something to do, so people to meet—some place to spend your time beside at home..for in this day and age even the disabled can usually arrange some type of mobility that will allow for some fun, farther afield than afore.

Say you are interested in the Civil War….take for instance West Virginia….not some place everyone would relate to the war but it does: Check out http://www.greaterparkersburg.com/things-to-do/history-heritage/civil-war/
If you have kids you can look into what’s available—there are sites all over the south and some in the west: https://www.nps.gov/abpp/battles/TXmap.htm
There’s even sites for those who would like to get involved in preserving these: http://www.civilwar.org/?gclid=CjwKEAjw8da8BRDssvyH8uPEgnoSJABJmwYoFF-5IvAo856959fvqarnSUPTT0Iigax_Uf4uMyPfGBoCgFnw_wcB
Sound interesting? You can find more on a state that you live in or would like to visit on your vacation: http://www.civilwar.org/civil-war-discovery-trail/
I guess being on the internet might help you–just know when to say when.

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.

But life is about sharing…and you can only share if you have at least someone to share it with….dogs and cats are nice, but friends even acquaintance help get you thru the days and nights of life….
If you have a significant other then doing things together is important—not everything though—having some life to share is great, but doing something with the guys and girls gives you both a break, let’s you spend time with different people for lets face it few people enjoy doing exactly all the same things—so while he’s having a few at the local pub, she’s at a play at the Globe featuring Shakespeare which he hates and he’s groovin’ with some friends she could survive without spending long hours with…..so you’re happy, share your adventure–pick out the things you know he’d/she’d like—the historical architecture at the recreated thearter and a suggestion you can go there for a tour and a walk along the river and he can tell her about the new bar tender at the pub and some of the silly jokes he told him and mention a place that his friend took his wife last weekend and maybe they should go there for dinner soon…a break is a good thing honest.

Make new friends: In the US there’s Meet Up Groups—http://www.meetup.com/cities/us/ which have groups in all 50 states, Peurto Rico and the Virgin Islands as well.
Find out what’s happening in USA Meetup groups around the world and start meeting up with the ones near you. (6,150 members). I belong to a few here in Florida and even serve as a planner in one group…..everything from watching old movies (with a gentleman who knows his movie stuff) at a Chinese restaurant to the one I host which includes visiting interesting places (one day we to a farmer’s market then on to a small museum and then on to lunch all on a Sat.—my next one is a reconstructed fort—a shop that sells Christmas items (year round) and finally an old Florida style restaurant on one of the marshy waterways near the coast)….so not only do you have a chance to meet new people but to find new adventures—explore places and new subjects that may lead to friendships and a fuller life doing new things with new people.

Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Pope Paul VI
You can stay in therapy your whole life, but you’ve got to live life and not talk about life.
