My perception of today, Tuesday, is that it feels like Wednesday. At least that is what I keep putting on paperwork, email and everything I type since opening my office today.
I could suggest that I am having a “golden moment” as I prefer over “senior moment” however, I am not now or ever will consider myself a “senior” in this lifetime. Yes, if you need a moment to reread this statement I will pause for you…stop laughing.
The concept of becoming a senior citizen is grossly overstated and highly debatable in one’s own mind. The old adage’s that “you are only as old as you feel" and "age is just a number” in my opinion holds true. It is only until my body decides to rebel, blatantly disrupting the magic moment of positive affirmation that I briefly entertain possible cause and effect. Feeling no less inadequate, remembering the empowerment of denial is alive and well and I know how to use it.
I am very outgoing, adventuresome and a bit of a risk taker to some degree and no, I am not advertising dating services...chill. There is no rule in life’s handbook that says one must act one’s age at least in my own personal copy of it. I can be a grown up when I need to be with responsibility and all that adult stuff, however, it is just too boring and exhausting to maintain that level 24/7. My goal in life is to “experience life” whatever the heck that means. There have been remarks over the years that I look much younger than I am only fuels my excuses to dig my heels in and scoff at the numbers legally attached to me.
Friends find me witty, free-spirited and have suggested a bit disturbed on occasion over the years. My daughter may strongly concur with this statement although your kids always think their parents are little crazy and disillusioned. C’mon, how many fun loving friends do you know that when they were we will say…close to 50 give or take…danced on the bar at Coyote Ugly in Austin, sober? I'm not suggesting that it was me or anything it could have been anyone. I'm just saying. The person in question was told that if they ever wanted a job I...I mean “they”… would be more than welcome anytime. I will forever remain young at least in my own mind.
Time to go now…TGIF! Wait…no it’s Wednesday…right?
Look, woman, you're just old.. Embrace it and move on!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I'm just joshin'.. Anyways, I will remember this when I'm old and senile (sp?) and I will be sure that we share the same nursing home.. :)

Due to the difference in compatibility of personality, Mom did not find my comment amusing, "This post has been removed by the author" haha...therefore I have re-thought the structure of my sentencing and come up with a more pleasing comment (in other words I was teasing her so now I'll make a "real" comment haha: Echem:
