Good morning. šŸ˜«ā˜•šŸ˜ƒ

1 July 2025

Isn't it a bit annoying when someone complains about how old they are—especially when you're twenty years their senior? Or maybe the word I’m really looking for is ancient. šŸ˜‚ You can only get ancienter from here… wait, is ancienter a word? It must be. Spell check didn’t protest.

Anyway, it just occurred to me—there is a point when you stop getting older. But let’s not dwell on that this morning. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

Speaking of age, I remember my great-grandmother. I only knew her as a very old woman, bent and slowed by arthritis when I was a small child. But I have a photograph of her as a young woman, dressed in elegant Edwardian style, complete with hat. She was truly beautiful.

We forget there’s always more to a person than what we see.
