PEOPLE OFTEN TALK ABOUT MID LIFE CRISIS, BUT WHAT ABOUT OLD AGE CRISIS? ONE WOULD THINK THERE WAS MORE TO BE IN CRISIS ABOUT AT AGE 65 AND OVER. OUR WHOLE LIFE’S WORK IS SUPPOSE TO BE OVER, WE ARE THOUGHT OF AS MUCH LESS ATTRACTIVE AND OF COURSE ABSENT MINDED. WOMAN IN PARTICULAR BECOME INVISABLE UNLESS THEY HAPPEN TO BE FAMOUS OR WEALTHY OR BOTH. (AND SOMETIMES THAT DOESN’T WORK). IT BECOMES ACCEPTABLE FOR OLDER MEN TO FIND A YOUNGER WOMAN BUT THERE ARE STRANGE AND NEGATIVE NAMES GIVEN TO WOMAN WHO ARE WITH YOUNGER MEN. NOW HAVING TURNED 65 THIS YEAR WITHOUT BEING ABSENT MINDED OR FEELING OLD, IT HAS BEEN INTERESTING OBSERVING THE REACTIONS OF OTHERS TO MY NEW STATUS AS SENIOR CITIZEN. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT SOME BENEFITS OF MY NEW POSITION.   1. A NICE CHEQUE FROM THE GOVERNMENT EACH MONTH 2. NO MORE ANNOYING ADVANCES FROM MUCH OLDER MEN. 3 WHEN YOUR INVISABLE , YOU DON’T HAVE TO PERFORM, YOU CAN RELAX AND WATCH THE SHOW. 4. YOU CAN SIT IN A RESTAURANT BY YOURSELF AND KNOW YOU ARE IN GOOD COMPANY. 5. YOU CAN BE COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR TRUE SELF ,ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE DONE THE WORK(SUCH AS HYPNOSIS OR MEDITATION). 6. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO KNOW WHO IS FULL OF IT AND WHO IS AUTHENTIC AFTER LOTS OF HITS AND MISSES . 7. YOU USUALLY CHOOSE TO BE GENTLE VERSES AGRESSIVE BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT WORKS BETTER. 8. YOU MIGHT BE AMUSED BY THE YOUNGER WOMAN WHO OBSERVES AN OLDER WOMAN BEING BELITTLED OR ABUSED BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT ONE DAY THEY WILL WAKE UP AGE 65. 9. YOU REALLY START LISTENING TO YOUR BODY BECAUSE IT SPEAKS TO YOU LOUD AND CLEAR. 10. YOU MAY HAVE A WONDERFUL APPRECIATION OF YOURSELF FOR BEING MORE SELECTIVE AND LETTING GO OF THOSE WHO ARE HOSTILE, UNLOVING, RUTHLESSLY AMBITIOUS OR JUST PLAIN RUDE.  OF COURSE THERE ARE MORE LIKE WISDOM AND POWER WHICH ARE LIKE MAGICAL LITTLE GIFTS FOR SURVIVING SO LONG. THIS SENIOR IS OFF TO THE WEST COAST TO LEARN FROM ERIC PEARL IN HIS RECONNECTIVE HEALING SEMINAR.  I WISH YOU ALL GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. WANDA
