RECOLLECTIONS

 

                               I guess when it comes to aging, it's all about going back to basics!

15 Months in Another Town!

I moved into my new apartment away from my hometown 15 months ago, and I have made lots of new friends here. Not human friends mind you, but just a whole flock of birds who visit me every day. 
Not being a gregarious sort of person, I guess this is the best I can get after reaching 70.

STILL MORE SENIOR MOMENTS

And of course, this happens when I go into the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, the supermarket, 
the shopping mall, etc. (And also, sometimes I open my laptop and forget what was I going to do!!!)

SEPTEMBER SONG by SINATRA

This is one of my all-time favorite songs and the lyrics become more and more relevant as the years go by!


When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth take a couple of whirls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came.

Oh, it's a long, long time from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September.
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few,
September, November.
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you

September, November.
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you.

TURNING 70 TODAY...

Turning 70 is an important milestone not just for me but I guess for anyone who is lucky enough to get this far in life. I thank my lucky stars in looking after me all these strenuous years where I've had my ups and downs, like everybody else, but where I've also managed to keep my sense of humor, my sanity, my health and my family and friends who have tolerated me for lo, so many years!

Hopefully, this elevator will still keep climbing a few more floors above!

SIXTY-NINE!

If sex was a number, it would be sixty nine. In numerology, 69 is a number of idealism,  family and harmony. It is also a number of health and compassion.  It is the natural number following 68 and preceding 70.  In roman numerals, it's LXIX.  
                  Whatever it means, one thing is certain: I am getting older but not any wiser.
                     And as long as I can keep getting birthdays, everything will be just fine!
