A NEW DAY---YIPPEE!

Today is June 1.  I turn 65 on June 18.  I guess you know the significance of such a benchmark.

Today I am officially on Medicare! 

Believe it or not....I now carry an official Medicare card!

So here are ten things I have accumulated in knowledge over these six and a half decades:
  1. If the English language does not have sufficient words, make them up.  Sometimes these new ones are even better.
  2. As you get older you cannot help but notice how the younger generations mumble so badly.  Try not to say anything for they just don't realize it.
  3. When you refer to "when you were a kid", this causes others' eyes to roll into the backs of their heads.  This is a rather weird reflex, don't you think?
  4. Do not go into shock nor display your inner frustration when your colleagues cannot remember where you put things.  Don't people pay attention anymore?
  5. If you will drive around just a bit more, you will most likely recall where it was you were headed. 
  6. There seems to be a blurring as to whether you took action on an item or you thought you should take action on said item. 
  7. It is of vital importance that you scout out where all of the public restrooms are.
  8. You conclude that those who sob when they turn 30 are idiots. 
  9. Old is always ten years away.
  10. For those of you in your 40s, your day is coming sooner than you think and this makes me happy!

Just shared today's blog with my 71 year old father who is visiting from out of state. We chuckled together. Thank you for sharing your heart----the fun stuff and the serious. Both are needed in life! Blessings and Congrats on your medicare advantage (hope it's better in OK than in NJ).
