 |    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 May 28th What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Would the sky be the limit? Could I achieve anything? Need I not worry about risking life and limb in an extreme physical sport? Would I ever need to train to prepare myself for acts of derring-do? Would I exert myself? Could I forgo lifting a finger? Need I ever lose sleep , or fret about an outcome? Why would I bother to learn, practise , or update any skills? I do not wish to be guaranteed success. If I never fail, where is my motivation to improve? If everything I attempt is golden, would I appreciate it? Would I not become complacent? To fail is to acknowledge an effort. To fail is to learn and grow. To fail is to seek improvement, modifications, and adjustments. Nothing worthwhile is easy. I want my accomplishments to be the result of my efforts. To never fail is inconceivable. |
