No, I was correct.
You used the word fate, which has no place in a reasonable world. Being of a positive nature, in essence, is nothing more than tricking one's mind from the reality of one's existence and the reality of the world in order to create a false happiness that lasts for a short while before the crash and then ensues the rebuilding of that fake world in order to convince one's self that the life in which one is existing is worthwhile to some degree.
Yes, I am entirely TOO realistic for my own good.

People in their 20's can leap out of a seat whilst putting a coat on and tying their shoe laces. Now I am in my 50's I'm finding it hard to adjust to a slower pace. I find myself hurrying around, walking too fast, lifting things that I should get help with. Had a couple of near misses, fallen over but not injured, strained my back but recovered quickly, nearly dropped a 50" tv but just barely saved it (and no-one was watching so embarrassment saved as well).
I could do myself a proper mischief and no mistake guvnor, unless I change my ways.

You're not realistic, you're just blind to other points of views, and this makes you reinterpret everything I say so you can poke holes of your own making in it.

1. Have a relatively uneventful colonoscopy. More the prep than the procedure.
2. Get some titles on the new pup.
3. Earn the title of coot or codger. Give it to me you damn whipper snappers! Don't make me get the hose!
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I am extremely realistic.
I would love it if you could provide some form of evidence in relation to how I am blind to other points of view, however, because as a writer I am quite in touch with how others operate.

1. Lose weight.
2. Anger management.
3. Organization. I am a packrat. Largely because my mother gives me so much stuff and things.
Which leads to...
4. Assert myself more effectively.

And yet another thread that's immediately going to derail and get turned to shit. How many does this make now?
Anyway, my three things are:
1 - make senior salon at school.
2 - work on court stuff and succeed.
3 - downsize my belongings

1) Maintain sobriety.
2) Improve my musicianship.
3) Spend more time reading, especially history.
