| 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. |
| May 26th Prompt: Make a list of your top 5 short term goals and a separate list of your top 5 long term goals. What steps will you take to achieve them? Am I makin' a list and checkin' it twice? I'm not much of a long range planner, or a list creator. This prompt is a puzzler. I've never owned, or kept a day planner . Do I have goals? Well, here are my short term goals as I see them at this moment. 1. Drag my hubby kicking and screaming if need be to a dental surgeon for some much needed 'work'. The sooner this happens the better. 2. Enjoy a return trip / visit to British Columbia. There's so much more for me to explore in this gorgeous province. 3. Finally travel to Newfoundland. Two years ago, I'd anticipated this trip, but a knee replacement sabotaged that idea. 3. Spend more time with grandgiggle number three before she begins school. I know she's two-years old now, but time passes far too quickly. Once she becomes a student her time will be limited. 4. Splurge and dine in a restaurant again. Stupid Covid has scuttled similar plans for over a year now. 5. Walk into a movie theatre to satisfy a spontaneous urge to view a movie, any movie. Again, Covid has denied me and many others this privilege. Okay, let's see what my long term goals are... 1. Muster enough gumption and grit to undergo a second knee replacement. My right knee isn't going to limp along for much longer. When this happens, I shall possess a matching pair. 2. Live long enough and hopefully beyond to attend my youngest grandgiggle's university graduation. I figure that will be approximately twenty years in the future. A corollary goal is to encourage, not push, her to accomplish this. 3. Perhaps write enough and organize enough to publish a book. If this does not happen, I will not be overly disappointed. At least I will have created and attempted to create more stories. The journey will be my reward. 4. Retire. Hubby and I will get there some day. Imagine the extra time on our hands to fritter away, or whatever. 5. Purchase a new RV, or motorhome and live in it as my hubby and I travel at whim. If we wish to avoid snow and freezing temperatures, we will. |
