Will You Join me in the Quest for A Good Old Age??
Dear friend, and I am hopeful that I am allowed to call you "friend" - after a while, when we walked together entering "The Other Country" - exploring Old Age " and exchanging our impressions and hopes and defeats and how we overcome them. I have the feeling that we might need some friends there... Living in denial is no option for getting on in years. Believe me: I tried. For a while I quite successfully quoted Oscar Wilde : " One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything. " So: I won't tell you my age - and I won't tell you everything. I suspect that "everything" might be heavy stuff in Old Age - and I am NOT a member of the group " Everything was better in the old days ", and you might notice that I silently elope when the conversation turns to diseases, maladies and illnesses. Of course maladies might rear their ugly head just around the corn...
