 |    My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| War Chest Wednesday! From a previous challenger... What is your "philosophy of life"...something that guides the way you live? Why that? Do I have a particular philosophy that I follow? There isn't a lifestyle guru spouting special wisdom for me to slavishly emulate. I'm just trying to get along. I do like the live, laugh, love approach though. I believe in tasting new foods, travelling to explore different locales, attempting various hobbies, and such. Life is too short, eat dessert. I chat with people I encounter. Life is meant to be lived, and I take that to mean go out and take a chance. No, I'm not advocating risky behaviours, just variety is the spice of life stuff. There is so much to see and do in this big old world. Laughter is the best medicine, the best policy, the spice of life. It is common to all languages, and understood by everyone. It's an ice breaker, and a tension dissolver. It unites us. We are all human with foibles that we can find humorous.Love, we all need it. We want to feel special and accepted. We wish to matter. Creating enduring friendships and close-knit families generates love. Volunteering in the community also spreads acceptance and tolerance. Something I was repeatedly told as a child still holds true today. If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all. Nobody responds positively to criticism, slurs, animosity, judgment, or negativity. What's that song lyric? Give love a chance. |
