| OVER 60 AND NOBODY NOTICED
|
|
|
Do you ever get the feeling that you are on the outside looking in? Most of us oldies (but goodies) feel that way. We are limited on what we can do. Everything going on in the world is geared to the younger generation. We have to be a celebrity before we are noticed.
Could we please have an alternative to Fredricks of Hollywood? Or could we have upcoming fashion shows for just us oldies?.
Of course they will sell us term life insurance til we are 85, but it's so expensive few can afford it. And, of course, funeral homes will sell us pre-arranged services.. When we start going down the other side of the hill, we are of no interest to the majority.
We are a combination of life long training and experiences, all trapped in an aging body which no one can look past. We are not worthless but we do feel hopeless sometimes. There needs to be changes in our society to show more respect for the elderly. For most of them it is like"climbing the rough side of the mountain".

Funny, when I hit 50 I got noticed, by AARP, Colonial Life, etc... Gray hair gets me senior discounts and pity. They don't understand that in my mind, I'm still 21...
