| 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. |
| September 5th Prompt: What is the best thing to come out of staying at home? Ah, there's always a silver lining to any situation. Staying home isn't all that bad. Sure, Covid forced us to forfeit most of our forays and our get-togethers. It curtailed our freedoms. It limited our interactions, the face-to-face of our meetings. It did not squelch our spirit, or our sense of humour.We are so much more than a virus. I have grown to like the grunge look, or as some would say the casual dress code. I am comfortable in my own skin and I 've never felt the need to dress to impress myself. Lately, my choice of attire does not aspire to speak to anyone. Colour matching is not a criteria. My power suit rarely features buttons, or zippers. Comfy and loose-fitting are all I need. Footwear is not a necessity, in fact I prefer barefeet. Eschewing form -fitting outfits has permitted me to grow unfortunately. Rediscovering the joy of cooking and baking has necessitated the need for taste-testing and sampling. I am human and cannot resist the tantalizing aromas my efforts create. My new motto is if I bake it I will not forsake it. Cookies and I have formed a bond. Besides satisfying my insatiable sweet tooth I've endeavoured to assuage my appetite for reading. With cinemas shuttered I amuse myself absorbing great stories. I kinda appreciate that their cost of admission is far less than the expense of theatre tickets. With the minimal effort of clutching a book and turning pages I am transported beyond the confines of my four walls. Of course, staying home increases my odds of remaining Covid-free and that's a compelling reason to do so. There's no place like home. |
