You know how it is. You don't put on your underwear and go out in public thinking that no one will notice. On that day you meet your high school principal, your doctor, the minister at your church and every neighbor you have ever lived next to....and they are noticing. Not that they say it out loud but you can tell...they all know that you are barenaked underneath your clothes.
I will have to admit that I feel that way about Facebook, Twitter and my blog here on Retire In Style Blog. I think I can get away with just about anything because I am sure no one is watching. Then, just when I think no one was watching, everyone is. I don't know if that good. I suppose it all depends.
Last week I posted a picture I had seen on my news feed.
For some very strange reason people I knew that I thought never saw anything I posted "liked" that post. There were 30 of my friends to be exact. It is ok...really it is. Just incase any of you are wondering, I am just fine. I am not senile. Really, I'm not. But for all of you that liked that post and think you are senile, let me know. I will send a card or something.
I'm just saying!

Could it be that many of that are of a "certain age" know the feeling - that senility will be an easy transition for us? Maybe we laugh at our fears that senior moments are the first signs of Alzheimers or another dementia?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely...but that is a good thing. If we are doing everything that we can to remain mentally and physically healthy what is, is. Life is too much fun to not get a good laugh out of a "senior moment".
DeleteI think it will be smooth for me as well. I know the feeling. Sometimes you just want to write about what you're feeling no matter who sees it and then are surprised when people do. And watch the wind if you're wearing a skirt when you're bare naked underneath. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteOK, you made me laugh. I am always very aware of wind direction and the temperature outside. I am just saying...again!
DeleteI guess a lot of people empathize with the feeling. I know I do.
ReplyDeleteMe too...sigh!
DeleteAdmitting what nobody wants to admit to always surprising!
ReplyDeleteTrue but I also thought that most of those people smiled when they were clicking "like".
DeleteIt reminds me of that saying, "This is driving me crazy." Then the response came, "That will be a short drive."
ReplyDeleteI am laughing out loud!
