The Old, new-Old & new-New

After a certain age, on a daily basis, there are a thousand things to nudge & remind one about the ever increasing age. And then there's also some age beyond which you cease to care or you're oblivious to how old you actually are. Case in point - my in-laws, now well into their 70's-80's, who were discussing on how pension delivered home is a facility for the aged - not them! I havent got there yet.. I guess I'd have to be really lucky to get there. Im still figuring out the former state and it can be cruel at times - to say the very least! One such reminder came during one of those pesky family zoom calls (o man! things that the pandemic has done beyond its expected onslaught..), I was trying to be cheerful & crack a joke. No sooner had I said it than my first born rolled her eyes, slapped her forehead & walked away completely embarrassed by me! Made me realize how this defective gene was passed on from dad to me & how I used to be the one embarrased of him. Karma is a bitch! So anyway, as old makes way for the new-old & the new-new, Im trying to enjoy as much of the sunshine before my work is done. Atleast there's no pressure any more to look pretty :P Silver linings!
