My grandfather would say, if someone owes you money
and they give it to you, you count it in front of them. But, if
they give you a gift, you go in the other room and count it.
Years are a gift, he said, and shouldn’t be counted in front
of anyone. How do you feel about that?
I never had a problem about age, but now that I’m in my
eighties, I feel reluctant to reveal my age, and resentful when
anyone asks, almost as though discussing it will bring on an
evil eye.
I tell myself I look great for a woman my age. I’m still up
for a night out, a lovely dinner and a good joke. I don’t feel
old and my youthful outlook belies my age. So how are you
doing? Have you settled into being an old man or woman, or
are you still game for a good night out and having fun. I’m
not suggesting you drive at night, or give up wearing your
hearing aid, but how old do you feel inside? I still feel ready
to grab life like I’m a lot younger than I’ve admitted and
that’s what counts, even though the candles on my birthday
cake could set off a fire alarm. I’m not a great-grandmother
yet, but I’m hoping to get there.
