i've learned
that life can change on a dime.
cognitive skills can evaporate overnight, literally that some days, it doesn't pay to open your mouth at all that i can rejoice in successes but don't party overly long over it - there's another one waiting just around the corner. |

There's no sidestepping the truth if you're to have a life of any kind. There's no ignoring the past especially when it destroys you from the inside out. There's no ignoring hell if you want to keep sane. How many times did I patch it over? This is my life in suspension and honesty, no matter how frightening or brutal, is paramount to survival. My heart stops and my insides are seized....at remembering.

I realize each day really is a gift and aging does beat the alternative!
 Gracefully aging does sound very good! And one can still have  's in the bathtub!!!

I guess because my 59th birthday is a month away, my thoughts are plugged into this thread presently.
As I read through our posts, I am struck by some common themes around being comfortable with things like living alone, not needing to be in a relationship (but, possibly considering one if there is a match), not thinking that being with someone means living together, being much more connected to our own desires and values and an unwillingness to give these up for someone else. Just seems there is a commonality about self-awareness and self-love & self-respect among us. I know that although I have been fortunate in my life to have 2 positive, long-term relationships with extraordinary women, that there are many things I simply will not allow in my life at this age in terms of a relationship. I know I am grateful for my life even when there is hardship. LOL.. and I know I am not as patient as I once was! And I sure do have to stretch before dance, too! I certainly feel I have the capacity and personal attributes needed to sustain a relationship, but find I am not even willing to date someone that does not have my top non-negotiables. Why waste time on what I know will not work? Yes, time has become a very different concept to me at this time in my life. Sure, I miss many things about being with someone special and as full-retirement is indeed approaches, would like to have a partner to share intimacy (in its various forms) with and travel with. I also know that I just can't do drama anymore and would be happy going it alone with my good friends in my life as well as family. Some can travel too, so what the hell! Sex would be great, but, I have to stretch before that, too...  Geezuzzzzz... I can't believe you said that, Dude!

the older I get, the more I realize.....
that I settle for so much less than I deserve....
 that I'm 'seasoned' enuff to quit allowing it  and the older I get, the more I realize that my cat is really the only person who may really understand me

the older I get the more comfortable I am in my body as it changes, speads, sags, wrinkles, etc...lol....I LOVE the aging process and feel as though I am some great example of the goddess incarnate....
every single day until the day I die, I am going to wake up to this treasured body and make sure it is respected like it should be..by me and by any one else that I allow close to me...

That my definition of being "open minded" doesn't mean the person next to me has the same definition.
