Here's Some Of What
I've Discovered On
My Adventure In Aging:
Change usually brings complications, which as I get older, I don't want to deal with. I'd rather put up with something that bothers me that change to a new way of doing it. (Now I understand you, Grandma Dulin!) And this Hi Tech stuff...FORGET IT.
I always wondered why most older people just keeping talking and talking -- sometimes interesting, sometimes really boring. I find as I grow older I DO talk more and what to tell others about my life and what I am going through. It's not pretty, but hey, there it is.
I find that I cannot plan on too many things because on the day of the date, I MAY not FEEL up to doing such.
I find that I am agitated more by the so-called simple problems of life, ie., the toothpaste doesn't come out properly; I can't fit precisely into the legs of my long pants. I now have to sit down and thread my hand through the pant leg (so my toes don't get caught) and finally put my leg into the pants! What a hassle.
I am more impatient and don't put up with other people's stupidly or shit.
I have a lower opinion of people as I grow toward a 100 years old. I think I used to put most people on a pedestal. I don't do that anymore. I find more and more a high percentage of people are really just morons.
I don't understand the attraction to the younger gen's singers: Beyonce, Adele, Dua Lipa, Rihanna, Arianna Grande, Miley Cycrus, Billie Ellish, etc. OMIGOSH...and even Taylor Swift. What is the attraction?? I do NOT get it. None of these singers do ANYTHING for me. Give me Janis Ian, Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, etc. Even CHER!!!!
I don't want to RUSH anymore. Allow me to take it SLOW -- with anything. What's the hurry Murray?!
Many long time friends have petered out and that is disappointing. People just seem to CHANGE as they grow older -- hormones, metabolism, thoughts, beliefs, ideas, physicalities, etc. One went from a Jew to a Jesus Freak -- WHAAAT????! Another just began "ghosting" -- which seems VERY common nowadays. And some just turn DUMB. It's sort of weird and Twilight-Zone-ish. But...to be honest, I have changed to. And I think with growing-older-changes comes, well, change. And sometimes that is parting ways with old time friends. It's okay.
