why am i standing in the kitchen with a pillow?
why am i standing in the kitchen with a pillow? getting older is certainly interesting. it has its benefits like a presumed sagacity...ha!...and the ability to drop off to sleep at any given point in time at the drop of a hat. it also has it's down sides like peeing a wee bit if you laugh too hard and finding yourself in the kitchen with a pillow and wondering wtf. mama told me that after 50 it would be my face or my figure so i opted for my face and let a few pounds gather around my waist. i have good skin and few wrinkles but now i must say i do look better with clothes on than off and that is a turn around from my 40's....sigh. amazing what 25 years can do. if i were still riding the subway, i assume i might be given a seat, but that is an assumption and i'm glad i don't have to test it's veracity. i do know that in a given situation i am no longer afraid to say i don't know, or let me find out. not knowing no longer frightens me or makes me feel less than. i'm not wikipedia after all. and i'm way more patient than most of my staff..if it takes me longer to assess a situation to be sure i know all the facts, at least i know ALL the facts. and i can't be fooled as easily as i once could....smiles. though i can still be fooled. and i like that. i prefer to think of it as being filled with hope. now day and solar, stop your grimacing. if i choose to open up my heart to the good in all the people i serve, well, most of the time i find it. and when i get slammed, i'm still nimble enough to pick myself up off the floor...snork. my and i were talking about about my naivete today. he had me fooled better than most and that came from love and hope. and a mother's need. now that i know most everything, i find that i have even more hope and love. funny how it grows from the truth. and my , well he's not a boy anymore but a man and he's bound to protect me now. his words not mine. i don't doubt them either. a year ago i would have but i've seen the change and i trust it. so growing old, it has its moments. it allows things in that wouldn't ever have been allowed in before. like believing in a second chance. and letting a man who left you alone for three months without a word to just start talking again. and for you to set the pillow down. if you need to remember why, it'll come to you. probably about 2AM. friends are dearer. work is more important. music makes me cry more often than not. babies are magical. books are still the closest i come to touching heaven. and sex......believe me when i tell you, sex is succulent. growing old is just like getting your driving license. it's scary until you do it. and then, piece of cake.... You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

WE, my birthday is at the end of next month-I'll be 56, so I share the sentiments you're talking about. It's as though everything in life is more meaningful now. I too cry at things...like when I watch Undercover Boss and I see the effects of generosity on others. I never thought Poise would be in my bathroom closet. Sex truly is succulent when you enjoy it with someone you really care for. Only problem has been, finding that person. I take really good care of my health, take lots and lots of vitamins, and find probiotics solve many tummy troubles. Economics and politics have become a big priority to me now. I look back at my younger years and don't feel I'm almost 56, I don't look it...I still pass for my late 30's. But yeah, life changes you as you get older...in good ways. You become a better person (not that you weren't already-even better than you ever were). It's a great time for being in love...problem is, many men are still chasing the young sweet things. I hope you find your sweet knight who keeps you laughing and smiling...and who will hold your pillow for you when you can't remember why you have it.

I used to think like that, oui-oui... ...until I discovered that all I got, from suckin' eggs, was a pile of empty shells. Well, maybe a gullet-full of egg-juice, too. Sex? For an old man? Now... that IS rich! I just can't wait for that pillow-stage. Solar...

Laughing at the pillow in the kitchen - yes, I've had a few of those moments too. And yes, when one of my staff appears in my door and rapidly spews their great solution to our latest software glitch, I usually have to tell them, SLOOOOW down and maybe you're going to have to put that on the whiteboard for me. I have so many wonderful role models here on this site for aging with grace and beauty - who'd a thunk it?

I am so in love with you! Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety. Other women cloy The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies. For vilest things Become themselves in her, that the holy priests Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

Sage words from a wise woman. I tell my kids, "I like being older. The cash is better, the music is better and the drinks are better." They think I am nuts. LOL

Older -vs- dead? At least right now, WE, I'll take older quite happily. Maybe in another 30 years, it won't look so good, but then 30 years ago, I thought that where I am now did not look so good either. We get too soon old, and too late smart! (one of the carved signes in my Grandpa's workshop. Like many bits of Grandpa's wisdom, that one took a while to fully appreciate) Happy New Year to you, Chas
