Aging is not an illness, a tragedy, or a problem awaiting a solution; aging is the price we pay for life which is a greater gift than we deserve.
Will Willimon, Aging: Growing Old in Church
I can’t remember names very well
But faces stick with me. And voices.
I’m still mobile and active.
As Monty Python said,
“I’m not dead yet” — so
Today I will
Celebrate —
Life is
Good!
Yes, I’m a senior citizen. No, I’m not old.
True story: I DO recognize people better by their voice than their face. And I remember their face better than their name.
Celebrate was the prompt for JusJoJan today. The nonet was just for fun.

I think remembering names is a gift that not everyone has. I’ve always had a problem remembering names, since I was younger.
Same!

Yes indeed is a great talent… I like your nonet ..I like the blog 💜💜
I get the senior discount but I’m not so old that I need lots of help… Life IS good!
I had a guy in my office balk at the senior discount. “I’d rather pay full price,” he said when I told him the “good news” which would save him $120 dollars a year.
Whoa! I love that senior discount! I would never turn it down!! I’d even show my ID and AARP card!!
My boss (in his early 50’s) can go into a room and have everyone in the room tell him their name. He can then repeat every single name – without error. It is truly a gift! It can be 25 or 30 people. He gets it every time . . .and then remembers later.
I must admit that I had to look up nonet. You taught me something new!
The Monty Python troop got a lot of things right. This sketch, and the the one with returning the parrot. 🙂
