 |    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. |
| PROMPT March 3rd If you could be paid for doing anything you wanted full time, what would you do? When you were a child, what did you dream of doing when you grew up? Then, take some time to research “unconventional” jobs (ie. hot air balloonist, deep sea invertebrate researcher, professional table tennis master, etc) and share one that you think you would be good at or would be fun to try. Ah, dreams! At one time, specifically a lifetime ago, I considered the medical field. Imagine moi as a doctor. I could help people at their most vulnerable. Is there anything more noble than healing the ill? Oh, well, there is teaching. I could see myself as an educator. I've always enjoyed learning and I admit to being a nerd at heart. I don't attempt to hide that I love research, reading, writing, projects, and more. Ah, shaping/nurturing the agile minds of children...Quite the responsibility! Double sigh inserted here. I have never been an athlete of any ilk or skill. Perhaps, I missed my calling as a professional trampolinist, or an aerialist soaring through the air in a big top? Sure... Maybe I could've been a clown. My pratfalls would be authentic. Clumsiness would never be feigned. If I'm inevitably going to trip and fall anyway, why not get paid for it and receive some compensation? Earning the laughter of fans could be wonderful! All I'd need is an over-active imagination. I could conceive of a persona and a costume. Unfortunately, Mad magazine already has a Kaptain Klutz. Wait a minute, inspiration has come squawking... Perhaps I could be a pro people-watcher. I love to do this anywhere and everywhere. Now, I'm not suggesting I'd be a spy, more a snooper, a curious bystander. Hmmm... |
