LOL! Reminds me of that old saying.."Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!" A fun write, Madame C! I'm becoming very familiar with senior moments!  |

Thanks for the reply, Michael... I had a roomate in college who used to say that she would lose her virginity if it weren't attached to her.  ~chuckles~ copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

and those brief senior moments I'll not let them stress they've always been with me to that, I'll confess yep, I’ll attest to that. I get them all the time, and I’m not yet forty. I hate to think what I’ll be like in another twenty years!! Cute write Lyra. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Thanks Tracey...its comforting to know that one doesn't have to be over forty to have senior moments.....but of course, I already knew that because I've been having them since my teens.....  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Cute thing you certainly don't look anywhere near old enough to be having 'senior moments.' Just you wait!! Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

  (sigh) Oh Lyra, this is soooooo emotionally powerful, I know how you feel but always know that we all love you so much for the wonderful person you are and even while you feel older always, your heart will only be growing with pure love and delight to us all! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Marti...thanks for your reply...and for the nice compliment. I am actually quite a bit older than I look. Since starting chemo, my hair has turned almost completely silver...but, oh well...at least I have hair which is more than most chemo patients have. My face looks the same but it is now framed with hair of silver instead of dark brown. ~hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Lyra~ You really should remember to return my mirror, dearie~ That's ME you're looking at~  Delightfully written, Grandma~ Grandma's-R-Us Though we're a senior crew The did us up in silver so our reflections would shine anew~ Mostly young at heart as we're inclined to be ... who cares that the mirror makes us look every bit of our thirty-three ! ! At least we know this much is true 'the eyes are NOT the first thing to go' Throw that mirror in the trash ! ! That's what I'd do ! Love n' hugs~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Thanks so much for your reply, Lauren... I don't feel old, and I don't feel like a senior citizen just yet...and I have actually been having those senior moments since I was quite young...I have always had trouble finding my car in a big parking lot, and I have a history of losing keys... In fact when David moved in with me...I gave him the keys to my house on a keychain which said "keys I haven't lost yet". Take care.... ~lots of hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

who cares that the mirror makes us look every bit of our thirty-three ! ! ROFL, Marge....Hey, thats MY mirror.... It can't be yours because its stuck to my bathroom wall.... so thats really me that I am seeing. Actually, I look pretty much the same as my photo...but chemo has turned my hair silver... At least I have HAIR though! I don't really care what color it is...besides many people have told me that they like it this way... I'm not sposed to color it now...so I guess it has to stay this color...I hope at least that it STAYS on my head.... seriously...I love being a grandma...and I know that you do too! Thanks so much for that sweet reply, kiddo! ~lots of hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
