| 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 5th Write about a recent success. Yours or someone else’s - your choice! This is where I brag about my youngest granddaughter, Alexandra, aka Cutie Patootie aka Lovebug. Recently, as in February, she became a one-year old. For months, she has scooted around either by executing this unique rollover thing with her legs, or time-tested crawling. I'd almost forgotten how quickly a mini human moves. The beating her poor knees take! Initially, any attempts to mobilize on shaky legs caused her to squawk and revert to her tried and true method of portage. Standing she could and did tolerate. I'd wince every time she bounced on her legs and performed deep knee bends. Ouch! All she needed was a mirror and a bar and a Russian taskmaster. I suppose all that strength training has paid off. Alexandra has discovered and embraced walking, perambulating, strolling, whatever I wish to call it. My girl has her physical independence. Her legs are hers to command. I love the big grin on her face when she toddles around. Now when she approaches a window she is ready to peer out. She saves that extra step/stage of rising to her feet. Those feet have been waiting in the wings to show her their support. Sigh, I cannot admire those soft, unblemished feet as unused any more. Congratulations Alexandra! To quote Dr. Seuss, "Oh the places you'll go." |
