| 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. |
| Creation Saturday! What's your definition of "lucky charms"? And what are some of yours...for personal use, and for the benefit of others? I guess this prompt is not referring to the colourful marshmallows in a certain cereal, is it? I never did like that breakfast food. Okay, do I have a talisman that somehow grants me luck? Hmmm, no not that I'm aware of. I'm not superstitious, or a believer in totems and such. Now, I did own a rabbit's foot when I was a kid. I never felt that it protected me, or provided a bounty of whatever. It was simply an object that someone gave me, and it was a novelty. If it really was a genuine rabbit's foot, it seems macabre. I know it's a cliché of a joke, but obviously the poor rabbit was not lucky. Whoever decided carrying around a piece of a dead animal could be fortuitous was morbid. I remember wearing a gold ring with my engraved initial when I was younger. Nope, even this piece of jewellery did not prove to be lucky. In actual fact, this ring had to be cut from my injured hand because of some ill-timed accident. I do lay claim to an Irish heritage, but is there the luck of the Irish? Well, I am blessed with my family, friends, and health, so that is the ultimate "luck". |
