    When you go to the store the shelves are filled with hundreds or probably thousands of choices.

    When you go to a restaurant you are given a menu filled with choices.

    When it comes to age you either get old or die. It seems there ought to be a lot more than just two choices.:(

    Today the blessing in growing old is not having to go out in the bad weather that is finally starting to worsen here in Louisiana. :)

    Thank you @Lara Moss and yes I am on higher ground. Our cozy Acadiana cottage is up on blocks and we are not in a normal flood area. I also have had my prayers answered because the rain moved up and we are not getting anything like the weather people have been predicting since yesterday, and I am very thankful for that too. :D

    Well this was the actual tread I was looking for tonight. The not so positive thing about growing older is not being able to sleep when you want to...but the positive side of that is on the internet you don't have to stay up alone. :)

    Yes I am always losing threads I want to post in, even my own ;) I have had a problem sleeping through the night for years, but being retired means I can catch up during the day with a doze. :)

    I was going to the DMV to get tags for my truck. The DMV office is in what I think is called a strip mall. As I was approaching the door from the parking area a young woman was passing by on the sidewalk. I hesitated a step to let her get by she looked at me, stopped and opened the door for me. I said thank you but was thinking "do I really look THAT old?"
