    • Decisions get better with age.

      • Aging brings confidence.


        Aging is an unavoidable process that is admirable for the wisdom resulting from the myriad experiences that come from aging. Predictability becomes possible, anticipation is heightened or muted, preparedness is a given and needs no forethought. Aging brings foresight, comprehension, empathy, and generosity. Aging brings knowledge, which equates power. Therefore, aging brings more power.
        When you get older, you appreciate what you already have and what you have done before. You also appreciate what you never did before, and why you didn't, or what you now need to do. You see with greater clarity of vision, and you have a vision of what is possible and what is not, although possibility becomes achievable. Aging makes you inpenetrable. Aging makes you sage. Aging makes you impermeable. Aging makes you two steps above and beyond the rest of the (younger) population. Aging gives you the ability to see beyond what is in front of you, and decisions become matter-of-course as the course is now highly visible. Aging infuses life with the sense of deja-vu, which doesn't make life boring, but rather makes life far more navigable through the pitfalls that sneak up on the young.
        If people can get past the physical face of aging, they will discover the wonder of experiential confidence.

    • The essence of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is indescribable in the spring

      • Have you ever hiked in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park?

        If you have ever been, you know what I mean. If you have not, you may not fully grasp the intensity of Spring. The flowers and birds are quite busy. The creek flows are running high, so your pack shouldn't be too heavy and you should carry dry clothes. The smell may be the best part. I enjoy the love in the Springtime air. This was one of the first dates I went on with my once-fiance. This is where I survived a black bear invasion. This is the most beautiful, romantic place in the entire world, and it is located right in my back yard. It is environmentally unique in the world, linguistically distinctive, and culturally iconic. The Appalachian culture bears resemblance to some of the oldest cultures of Europe, yet possesses its own stamp of rebellious individuality. The views are the best in the Eastern U.S. and rival the Rockies, while with the flora and fauna they boast, put the European mountain ranges to shame.
        The trout fishing is remarkable, the flower variety is unmatched, and hiking is the best way to experience the Great Smoky Mountains. Get out and walk through it. Your senses will be deluged with Spring.

      • Where is the place where you can unwind and relax in the privacy of just you and the Caribbean carressing the coral reef shelf beyond your lawn? Treasure Beach, Jamaica.
