Observations After Turning Seventy

Observations After Turning Seventy:

  • I’m headed in one direction; my memory has taken a side road.
  • I had no idea how young forty was until I struck seventy.
  • A single project in the yard can leave a trail of connected bruises on me.
  • There is no substitute for lifelong friends.
  • Spending my retirement stash is way easier than saving it.
  • I will never outgrow rocks.
  • It’s okay to tell your man-friend you love him; some things are better said out loud.
  • Being loud is not a substitute for being correct.
  • I now understand why naps were invented, and why they should be defended.
