No more political jabs at the party of gloom and doom! Some people may ask which party is that, but my lips are sealed and my fingers are paralyzed so you'll have to ask someone else that question. Negativity breeds negativity and hate breeds hate. I choose the opposite and if I do have to resort to having a defensive stance on an issue, let me do so with love and compassion in my heart. No more personal stories of the days when I tripped the light fandango down the path of earthly delights. As I just typed those last few sentences a sarcastic smirk mysteriously appeared on my face along with a "we'll see how long that lasts" thought. Sigh!
My primary focus now is an earnest look at the aging process and all that goes with it. I'd like to attempt to break some of the myths about the golden years as I navigate through them. My aim isn't to spread negativity or to complain about every ache and pain experienced each day but to have an honest discussion about what life is really like living with chronic and/or terminal diseases and all the challenges that go with it. I'd like to cover everything from the mundane things in life we all roll our eyes at to what really excites people as they age. So, there you have it! My new goal is to be Mildred the Magnificant, saucy tart extraordinaire and golden years vigilante.
Gratitude statement: Today what I'm most grateful for is that I've found my way back here.
Welcome back to the blogosphere, Mildred! I like your blog makeover -- lookin' good!
ReplyDeleteIf you have to discuss an issue, openly and with respect so as to come to an understanding is about the only way forward.
ReplyDeleteAging is tough, you've chosen an excellent subject to study, it will give you endless hours of food for thought.
I am also very grateful that you have found your way back. I do love your feisty self.
ReplyDeleteThe golden years? That is spin at work. Rust is more like it. I have been assured that it is better than the alternative but note that no-one I trust has come back to verify that.
Welcome back. I was pondering some age issues today. Laughing about them, actually. You know how your, er, flaps get scrunched together after you've been sitting awhile and then you sit down to pee and end up peeing sort of backwards onto your lower butt cheek? Or is that just me?
ReplyDeleteWow! Hot puppies! I stop by regularly hoping you would post. This made my day to see you back.
