You are right, My Friend — it’s “one of those things”. I notice one or two of those every day ... I suspect.
I hear that concluding phrase in phone-call reports from my good friend, who is like a brother to me. Makes me wonder ... what are “those things”, anyway? Can you name one? And let me suggest a few:
Apple iCloud — mine seems full again after upgrading; sometimes slows iPhone Notes and pics. A good thing is ... I may overcome my OC photography, a habit which has produced thousands — sufficient for my needs. By the way, printing photos was one of those things my wife Kay & I did a long time ago, but not in recent years. I have no scrapbooking skills or desire to be so creative. However, our family and I treasure all that she simply did ... with love. (Ambiguity — something that works here.)
Losing my Nikon, a tiny “spy camera” as Kay called it — one of those things people seldom use and commonly set aside. It served me well in British archives for the Hilton Family genealogy and on fun Cannon trips as a companion to my better iPhone camera.
Staying home alone with nothing to do — something sad I don’t experience, as I have too much to do.
Writer’s block — someone said, “no such thing”. Nevertheless, I feel good getting over it.
Reading great books and playing the piano — those things bring me joy.
“Grateful to be alive” — a better concluding phrase.
