[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 622547, member: 13542"] Cedar, I laughed out loud about husband's comment about coronary issues. It's good to laugh about it all. I actually adhere to a statement I heard Johnny Carson say one time.........."old age is ALWAYS 10 years older then you presently are." So, I always have those 10 years! I understand the invisible thing Cedar, I get that. I work where there are mostly older folks (older then us) and I see that invisibility every day, with women and with men. Our culture doesn't honor aging as other cultures do. This aging thing has losses in it that one doesn't even know until you are right in the thick of it. I remember a moment about 10 years ago when I was riding in the car and realized I had not listened to any music in the car for a long time. It seemed that just the day before I was rockin' out to Pink Floyd or Clapton and there I was tooling along in the quiet of my car. When I mentioned it to a friend, he said, "Yeah, we've gotten to an age where quiet is the new loud." Well, I didn't want to be at that age, I wanted to be standing in line all night at a theater in New York City waiting to see the Rolling Stones (yikes I did that about 45 years ago!!) The funny thing is that around the same time I went to a concert at a small venue in San Francisco and we got there really early so we could sit down because they literally only had about 6 seats, you stood up during the concert. We were in the balcony and throughout the entire time, the "younger" set was standing up, clapping, having so much fun and truthfully, I was sitting there wishing I were someplace quiet where I could find a comfortable seat. That's the night I realized my concert days were over and it was dinner theater for me. Sigh. I think I had a bit of a different experience with power Cedar. I've not been in a long term relationship as you have, I've been on my own a lot, out in the world fighting dragons with my own weapons, so I may have a different perspective about that. I've learned a lot about power out here in the real world and how to interact and stand my ground with the powers that be. Interesting comments Cedar. I always enjoy your take on things. Thank you.
