My Brain Hurts!

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

I have spent the past week 

'in training'.

I'm amazed at the quantity of information that I can, have, and continue to retain.

I had genuinely thought I was 

'passed it" and getting a little 'soft in the head'

so it was time to challenge myself.

And you know what?...

It's simply not true.

While the old noggin' creaked and stuttered a bit while firing up,

I actually coped really well.  And I'm finding the more I do, the more I can do.

It's oil to the cogs.

So the old adage..."use it or loose it", is proving to be true.

Should you be in the category of a 'person of a certain age'...put yourself out there.

Firstly you ARE capable, and secondly, you ARE needed.

There is a dearth of common sense and general knowledge in the world.  We have become a place of formulae and routine, with people spouting trite phrases with no foundation of their understanding or meaning.

It's time to take the reins back, be it ever-so gently, to remind those at the forefront of our world that

"Good Morning, how may I assist you?"

actually has a definition...

is the initiation of a relationship...

and if spoken sincerely, feeling is communicated over the words.


Hallelujah...getting old does have it's merits!
