Denial is rife and even basic acceptance is ignored. 75? No way bucko - I was only 25 yesterday or was that 50 years ago?
I am told to retire? ‘Retire’ is a foreign state of mind which implies we are now unable and/or incapable of actually contributing to life but preferring to languish in self pity because we are now officially old. What bullshit! I retired-ish 20 years ago but that didn’t work as I was champing at the bit to do something constructive and meaningful, not just gawk around the planet at ‘stuff’. Indeed after just 6 months of ‘stuff’ I was back on the saddle!
We have seen a lot of ‘stuff’ over the years and for this we are very grateful but, it’s no substitute for doing something which others appreciate and tell you so. Smiles all round.
Some call this ‘work’ but I call it life affirming.
