I entered my ninth decade on February 5th, 2020, and hope to enter my tenth decade in 2030. But being honest I realize the ninth decade of a person's life is normally not a good decade. I said on my birthday, "I am very thankful to have another birthday, many people never reach this age. 

The dawning of a new decade is like the morning dawn. Rising, it is filled with hope. Rising there is mystery ahead. 

My intention is to have a photo journal and not go into long descriptions of these years. Time will tell how well I live up to this goal.
