Some Peoples Children!
My daughter keeps telling me to grow up and act my age! Honestly! The nerve of some people's children!!! Just no respect for their elders at all.
Okay, so I should not be in such a hurry all the time. At my age, I should not be galloping across the street like a race horse, especially when I do have plenty of time to take it slow. But Sheesh! Old habits are tough to break! I have been rushing to - or - from something all my life. My dignity notwithstanding, I see no reason to stop now! There is always something - or somewhere - worth hurrying to, and wasting time has never been my forte! It's just is not my style, though I may have to admit that sometimes it might be less painful to slow down!
I was hurrying to a meeting last week and I was trying to cross the street before the light changed. In my headlong dash, my foot caught on something and I literally crashed onto the pavement. Other than my dignity and a skinned knee, I did not think I hurt anything too badly. I got up really fast, hoping no one witnessed my humiliation but I am sure some people took a vivid image home of an old woman galloping across the street and the next moment splayed out flat, face down, on the pavement.
Anyway, I know I broke nothing but MAN!!! I hurt in places that never even got near that pavement! Those areas must be having sympathy pains for the areas that connected! I realize that "this, too, shall pass!" but honestly, even losing my dignity did not hurt this much!
(Maybe I should listen to that cheeky kid of mine afterall!)
