You Shine, Shaunta!
I was just thinking about ageing — how when in your 20’s and 30’s you look great! Life is good ~ In your 40’s, you ‘Get-it!’ Ah-ha! Hello Wrinkle, in your 50’s. However, when you are in your 60’s, with a head full of gleaned information, well traveled, kids out of nest and doing well, stories up the kazoo, NO ONE GIVES A RATS ASS!
What could she possible know at her advanced age? At 71 I was struck by a city bus running a red light breaking my neck, leaving me with an enclosed partial decapitation! Brain fluid leaking out my nose, double vision, seizures, no multitasking, wa da,wa da, wa da!
So, I earned an Associate, Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and gradated summa cum laude with a Master of Science Degree in Administration of Justice and Security, plus inducted into the Criminal Justice Honor Society as Alpha Phi Sigma! (at 77). While continuing to teach a class in metaphysics!
The caveat? With a broken neck I began communicating — in spirit — with a legend in the world of metaphysics! All because I wrote the Foundation for clarification, initiating 6 years of weekly letters (450 letters) yet we never met, except in spirit!
He passed in 2013 and still communicates! I am comfortable with my life at 82, however I could be classified as — a whacko because I do not fit the mandatory mold.
Yippee!
