Y'know I find myself at a strange place in life lately. "Strange" because I'm forgetting things more than I'm willing to admit or accept as being "normal," DARN! There's only so many times a day that I'm willing to call something a "Senior Moment!" I've tried to think if something --- some other word or expression Thai doesn't make me feel 112 years old each time I use it or hear a friend use it. "SENIOR MOMENT?" When did _I _ get to be a "senior," anyway? When did I start accepting that "senior thingee" as being a club that I'M willing to be a member of??? While reading in bed the other nite suddenly I remembered that I was meeting a friend for lunch on a specific day, but at that moment, I found that without knowing what day/date it was at THAT moment, I was totally unable to relate - to pin down what day or date it was at the moment. WHAT a strange and surrealistic feeling I got! My mind was racing and I gotta cold chill, never feeling so alone as I did ar that moment. WHO could i call at THIS late hour without feeling stupid 'cause I didn't know the day or date? SUDDENLY i grabbed the phone and dialed 411, and WHAT a wonderful feeling I got when I heard that wonderful lady saying "Directory Assistance." <smile> And ya know, she said they get thousands of calls every week seeking the same information! WHEW! I felt very thankful that warm, friendly voice in the night saying "Directory assistance." I no longer feel like every time I forget something doesn't make me a "Senior." anything!
