Oh, my, getting older, approaching age 78. For a moment I forgot the name of my last kitty who died in 2001, the same year that my oldest grandchild was born. I remembered our first kitty\u2019s name, and second kitty, but Allee had to remind me of the third and then it was, \u201cOh, yeah.\u201d Time is flying. I was appalled \u2014 but only a little. Nudges of aging are accumulating, in spite of the many ways I\u2019m vigorous and learning new things. It\u2019s an odd combination. Certain parts of my body aren\u2019t working as well as certain others, and I suspect this trend may continue.<\/p>\n
A little slower at folk dancing, too. Still picking up tango steps, though. Instead of look what I can do it\u2019 look what I can\u2019t do as readily as I used to. Interesting how it comes \u2018round. Most things I\u2019m as good as ever. Some things even better in that I can put them into a wider or longer-range perspectives! But a certain degree of melodiousness to my singing voice is on the edge of passing away and I heard it while singing in the shower. More on this topic as it impresses itself on me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
