| 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. |
| April 17th Prompt by Carol St. Ann (882) 4/17 Staying at Home: Merit Mail Pick one and write a letter (or note) to your: mail carrier, delivery person, local first line (emt, fire, police, hospital staff) Dear Transport Driver, Too many drivers of personal vehicles have no idea of the sacrifices you make, or the thousands of miles, (kilometres), you traverse safely in a year. It takes considerable skill, endurance, and patience to do what you do, and I salute you. Thank you for keeping your big rig between the lines. You sir / madam are a professional. No matter the weather or road conditions, you continue to drive. You sacrifice time with your own loved ones to supply goods to my family and I thank you. You spend not only hours , but days, weeks and sometimes months away from the comforts of your own home. You bunk down, alone, in a semi. You often eat on the run, or stop briefly at a truck stop to dine. How many home-cooked meals do you miss? How many hours do you spend alone while you're working? The road warrior moniker seems appropriate. You provide a vital link between suppliers and consumers. You are indispensable. Thanks for your professionalism, it is noted and appreciated. Keep on truckin'! |
