The rules are simply too tough, especially number 7. Taken literally, that sounds like being on a strict, restrictive diet. At our age eating is one of the last great pleasures. And a sign that we are still up and about. Should we deny ourselves that satisfaction? <br /><br />And no.9 is just as tough as the aging sixtiers' mental faculties begin to go awol. It really is more a case of the mind leaving us. I usually write my mind on a pocket notebook which I clip on my shirt. Otherwise I end up looking for myself all over the place. There are worrying times when I wonder who that person I see in the mirror is. <br /><br />No 6 is pehaps the easiest, as our options get fewer. So we accept our situation with resignation and endurance.<br /> <br />No 10 is rather late for most of us. We just don't have that much time left to procrastinate and yes, regrets we have quite a few as we review the choices we have made in our 3 scores years. But in the main, we have made choices we are mightily satisfied with. <br /><br />Overall though, we all have not done too badly. We are still a formidable team to reckon with.<br /><br />So Larps, please number 2 me.C C ramirezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052112572353665894noreply@blogger.com
