iPhone Journey – Day 64

I’ve lost track of the number of important topics I would like to rant about, but there has been some serious muttering I can share this week. In the midst of not being able to accept aging some days, I read an article about The Golden Bachelor tv show in The New York Times that caught my eye because of the title, “Why ‘The Golden Bachelor’ Terrifies Me,” and not because I watch the show. I was stunned to discover while reading the article that the characters in the The Golden Girls tv series from back in the ’80s were my age. This shock came after looking up leg exercises for my mom on the National Institute on Aging YouTube channel and discovering the people looked closer to my age than my mother’s age. After a week in which I just kept thinking I can’t be a golden girl, even though I might sound like Bea Author’s character based on the The Golden Girls memes my niece keeps sending me, I then discovered, thanks to my niece, the rumor that Kevin Costner might be dating Reese Witherspoon. With all these rants and mutterings floating around in my head, all I could think was I can’t remember which one of my bookcases holds one of my favorite books by Lisa Scottoline, Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog.

  1. You are right, aging is difficult, almost every day. I can’t understand why my young soul is in this old body. Why?

    1. This is probably the first year that my young soul has really accepted I’m getting old, but one good thing is that my young soul has a better sense of humor as I’ve been able to let go of many things.🙂

  2. Costner and Witherspoon? A very unlikely combination. I hope your mother and you are well. It’s a privilege to keep flying up here to help my 95-year-old dad, such a great man. 48 degrees for the high in Lapeer today, yuck!

    1. Thank you and found out today the Costner/Witherspoon rumor is not true!🙂 Thankfully we have a few days of sunshine coming up and I’m sure your dad and Blondie are very happy to have you home.🙂

  3. This made me smile! From a fellow “golden girl.” (I just looked up their ages and that one hit me hard, too!).

    1. Thank you!😁 It was such a surprise to discover their ages that I’ve been watching the show and enjoying the “golden girl” vibe.😁

  4. Our head says we’re still young, but our bodies are constantly reminding us we are not. A battle of wills! 😀

    1. It definitely is a battle and lately there has been an ongoing argument between my mind and body!!😁

  5. There’s a lot going on there! Might be one day you end up with a dog called Costner (in the very far and distant future!) That’s probably not helping…
    Enjoy the weekend!

      1. I didn’t believe it anyway, they would be an odd couple. Thanks, you too!

  6. In my younger days I looked forward to getting older for a long time as I thought that in the end people would have to stop telling me that I was wrong. I would acquire wisdom and gravitas which would counterbalance the creaking joints. It has not turned out quite as well as I expected. I am still a nitwit, but now one with creaky joints.

    1. 🙂Thank you for your wonderful comment!🙂 Another thing I have muttered about over the years are the various sayings that “50 is the new 30” or “70 is the new 50.” I’ve loved what I’ve learned every decade and the changes it brought and have no desire to go back, although my 50+ achy back wished I had listened to all the times my mother said I should have picked easier sports and hobbies.🙂
