To Live Life All Over Again — No Regrets
Private thoughts and even conversation among friends sometimes gets directed toward things we would do differently in our lives if we had the chance to do it all over again. To many of us, regrets, unlike the Frank Sinatra song, are more than just a few. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to do some things over, to re-experience youth just one more time with the wisdom we’ve earned in our mature years?

Just had to share an article titled A Stunning Senior Moment posted at olbroad.wordpress.com.

A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright red freckles, spent the afternoon at the zoo.  Lots of children were waiting in a line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with pictures of assorted zoo animals.  “You’ve got so many freckles, there’s no place to paint,” a little girl standing in line said to the little boy.  Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head in shame.

 After writing the previous article on how seniors are less adept at handling cold weather, it occurred to me that maybe that was the reason for the boom in retirement communities in the south.  Perhaps seniors, knowing they can no longer tolerate the extreme cold of northern winters, long for views where the only white powdery substance in sight is the sand on the beach or the pits on the golf course.
