And you think you have a hard life?!?

I have no idea where people got the idea I am leading an easy life! Just look at what I have to face every day: The first thing my day starts with (#s 5 & 7) is walking into my living room and having to face pink, purple, red and white geraniums in bloom. Then I walk outside and am surrounded by (#1) magnificent blooms of Queen Crepe Myrtle trees (Why they weren't cut down along with so many other beautiful trees I don't know and am not asking!) all in purple reminding me of Lilac Trees in my youth (Yes, I was young once!) but without any aroma which seems a shame but I never question what Mother Nature does. Next, it is going down to the (#2) pool at The Point where--in spite of doctor's orders--I sit in the sun, swim in the pool, look up at the blue sky and don't even realize that I am supposed to complain about the heat and humidity. Heck I don't even know if 90 is the temperature or dewpoint number (and I don't care!) And then there are numbers 3, 4, 6 & 8!! Every day walking around seeing clear water with Manatees swimming around, the water shimmering with reflections of the sky and those million dollar yachts docked as if to say that they are the prettiest of all the sights. I really don't know how much longer I can put up with this but I guess I will just grin and bear it for a few more years or until we go under water !

@riverbetty108 Worrying is spending time in the future and now living in the here and now! One of the best things about being old---and there are many---is you learn that worrying is a waste of time.

@amadeo Nothing is going to happen---only the good die young and we are too old to be put in that category!
