It is true,as we grow older we do get weird and turn into the old folks we never thought we would become. It is happening to me as I speak(blog). When I was young I thought anyone over 25 was old,now I am old and I have stopped thinking about it. (see, how weird!) I find myself talking to my inner self(A LOT) and I have very definite opinions I must say. I am not patient with today's children. I find most of the ones I come in contact with,selfish,spoiled and over-bearing. I listen to the little monsters demand,threaten and embarrass their parents,grandparents day in and day out. If I hear the phrase "Oh well,he/she is just a kid" one more time I will evaporate into thin air! Yes, he/she IS just a kid,shut them up and make them respect their surroundings. I don't want to hear the rants of your spoiled,undisciplined kid. Be an upstanding adult figure and teach them to be the same.
On to the next topic, I love autumn! It brings some of my favorite songs to mind, September Morn by Neil Diamond, Autumn Leaves by Eva Cassidy and Fields of Gold by Eva Cassidy. It makes me want to bake bread,rake leaves and remember some times from childhood that warm my heart. (did you notice how my mood suddenly changed? OMG! ) Light a candle and embrace your fleeting youth. I did not expect to grow old but it has a firm hold on me now! I regret any comments I made in my youth regarding old folks,how stupid I was to think it was going to bypass me and I would remain forever young. So now for the moral of this story:
Respect your elders,they may be weird and drift from sane to insane at the drop of a hat,I believe that is because of all the wisdom and life experience that is crammed into our small craniums. We keep shifting it all around in there and sometimes it gets a bit jumbled when we share it with others. Smile at us and remember the same fate awaits you, one day you will feel a tap on your shoulder and it will be old age. It will come a callin' and will not go away,next thing you know....you're blogging about the craziest things! Growing old is not hard to do,it's hard to accept. Once you get past that it's just a matter of being you and not caring what some whippersnapper thinks(yeah,I'm old). I can be odd,say what I feel,be honest,or laugh hysterically ...at nothing! I could not do that when I was young,I was afraid someone would think I was not cool ( I wasn't,I was a nerd but I still tried to pretend I was!) So you can bank on one thing, my young friends,your degrees,accomplishments,and other self accolades will not be what you are remembered for, it's how you lived your life and the kindness,respect you have shown for others, that is the true measure of a life well lived.
How did all this wisdom get stuffed in my tiny head?
