 |    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. |
| BCOF November 5th prompt: Write about self-care and what it means to you. Self-care means I matter. It means I strive to tend to my needs. It means I deserve pampering and self-respect. I recognize and acknowledge that I am not perfect and sometimes I struggle. There are times I will fail, fall flat, but I brush myself off and try again. I do not begrudge myself me time. Reading and writing are solitary pursuits that I enjoy. I bribe myself to walk and exercise. It's for my own good, move it or lose it. My knees may protest, but I am insistent. Self-care means I am better able to care for my family.With the respite of me time, I'm better equipped to deal with stress. |
