Later years, bonus years! A special time in our normal human lives. Enjoy!
One of the many delightful surprises in this Strange Land of Old Age, has been this calm acceptance, this adjustment to later life. The change in the focus of pleasures that one cannot imagine at all when you are younger.
‘You are old Grandma Williams,’ the young one said,
‘But your hair has not yet gone white
and yet you repeatedly stay in your bed.
Do you think at your age that is right?’
Do the designers of these things ever try them out? Have the hoteliers ever used them? It seems highly unlikely that they ever thought of anyone over 70 wanting to enjoy a romantic bath, safely and easily
Yes! Got it, it will be the ‘Vintage Look’. Many years ago in an antique shop I fell in love and bought a black velvet Edwardian Evening Cape. Always knew there would be an occasion to wear it! And with the toy boy looking great in Black Tie.
Seriously, I am not worried about the body stuff, except for total concentration on comfort and ease. Beginning to think that by 83 bodies need cherishing not bullying.
The great relief is looking back at all the fears and worries you had, the bad things which seemed catastrophic at the time. You got through them!
So many things turned out alright in the end.
For the majority Later years are great years! Why so much sad negativity everywhere?
Let’s shout it!
