W is for Weird

  W is for Weird. Life can be and is as you grow and mature. Matureness is not with us all the time, and when it isn't, people think we are weird.
Aging is weird because is never what you think it is going to be. You think when you are young you want to older because they get to do all the cool stuff: stay up late, do what they want, don't go to school.
The stuff that goes with that is not quite so cool: over tired, do what is necessary, and go to work. School looks more like fun, now.
When you get to the age of retirement, weirdness continues. You have the time to do all the stuff you want to do. NOT. You really do the stuff you want, but you are busier than you think you will be. Who knew you want to do this much stuff? How did you ever get any work done? You can take more time doing stuff than you could when you worked for a living. That is the nice part about aging weirdness.

                                 

E is for Enjoy

Enjoying life at any age is the key to having fun , great memories and fewer regrets.

 

Enjoy the time that you have after retirement, rather than worrying what the children think. They may think you are stranger than ever, but that's okay. Children, no matter their age, think parents are bit on the weird side. And we are.

If you have always wanted to do yoga, do it. They have classes for people with patina. For those of you who don't know about antiques, patina is the shine of age. So, shine. Don't worry about how well you do it, if you must worry, worry about how good you feel doing it.
