Patricia Bunin writes the Senior Moments column each week.
I have lived long enough to know whenever I ask myself that question the universe is only too happy to let me know. Today the question involved a teapot wind chime that I was readying to hang on my crepe myrtle tree.
By readying, I meant carrying it out to the courtyard and hanging it on a branch that faced the front porch swing, my favorite spot to sit and contemplate the world. On the way out the front door, the universe intervened when I ever so gently placed the bag containing the wind chime on the porch.“How bad can it be?” I replied. I might intervene here to say “How bad can it be?” and “How hard can it be?” evoke the same response from the universe.“Get cracking, lady,” Big U barked. “Oh, right you already did that,” he snorted as I lifted the handle which was no longer attached to the teapot.
If you think this little tale does not merit the space it takes up, you might be right. On the other hand, I am often asked how I define a senior moment. The answer is they are the moments of our lives as we age, and what we can learn from them. For example, I now know I have a dysfunctional relationship with glue. How bad can that be?Related Articles
