(just for the heck of it, I thought I would bring a post from my other blog at RJsMosaic to RJsCorner. This one has a deep philosophical thought 😎)

In my days before I put aside the idea of life after death, I wondered what I would look like when I went to heaven. Would I be an old guy as when I die, or maybe a baby starting all over again. Or maybe the bigger question is what do I want to look like? I answer that question with the blurry photo above.

The photo was taken soon after a major life change of being married. Before that, I had lived 16 years in the LOMO mode (Life On My Own). I gave up even the idea of being part of a married couple. Married life lasted for 36 years, and ended three years ago when the only love of my life died.

I don’t look at myself in a philosophical light much, but when I see my image in the mirror, the far reaches of my mind expects to see this 42-year-old image, instead of the hunched-over old practically bald guy with a white goatee staring back at me.

I will close off this post with one of my favorite Mark Twain quotes.
