At My Age

Men building San Fracisco Bay bridge

At my age, I ought to know better than to trust someone who has hurt me before. At my age, I ought to be able to walk down the hallway and take the elevator downstairs to get my mail and return home without an incident. At my age, I need to learn how to keep my temper. I am truly struggling with everyone in my hallway, and if I spread myself around more, it would be everyone in this tower of old people where I live.

Lately, I have come to doubt everything I ever learned. I learned to be a top student, to be a kind and loving Stephen minister, and to be a good mother. Now, I will tell you, my son will never tell me I was a good mother. Forget the fact that I got pregnant when I was 17 and pretty much puked for 9 months. Forget the fact that I was too young to know what my body was doing to me, and gave up degrees to good colleges, where I could have escaped what was known as Boone County and all it entailed. It was no big deal, right?

Now, at my age, I am 65 and looking at the last quarter of my life. I really don't think I will live another 25 years, but if I do I will happily be bringing God's hope to everyone I know and making someone's day a little brighter with my Christian attitude.

At my age, I am grateful for the Christian upbringing I had in Florence Kentucky. Florence Christian Church was at that time an offshoot of the original Christian Church movement started in Cane Ridge, Kentucky.

I am now thinking about moving back to the area, and after viewing Florence Christian's online program, I believe Erlanger will be my choice. I am going to move to Covington, which will keep me close to my grandchildren but 9 miles away from my son. That will probably be the best for everyone concerned. I don't fight with my son, I just never get to talk to him or see him or hug him or have him tell me he loves me. That's why I'm depressed.

Bragg wore it best

Damn this pandemic. I am packing up my shit, moving to Covington within the year, and once I'm settled I will have two great grandbabies to cuddle and coddle + sing Little Cabin in the Woods to.

Yes, I ended that sentence with a preposition, damn me! I'm grouchy, so bye bye, goodnight everyone and have a
peaceful one,
