Aging, Humor

Follow Up to Monday Evening’s “The Older I Get” Blog Post

So the other night, I did a silly post about photographing older folks (“older folks” meaning me).

Here’s a link, in case you missed it:

Tonight, I am back in “My Square,” Washington Square, here in Historic District Savannah …

Reading …

And I thought, “Should I do another selfie tonight?“

I started …

“There we go,” I thought, “that angle meets the criteria.”

Then got a bit braver …

And only because fellow blogger buddy Matt VERY generously said my best feature was my smile …

It’s getting dark, so I should go in. HR will be ready for dinner soon.

May you have a Joyful and Peaceful Wednesday night.

The Older I Get … #2

Posted on October 7, 2024October 9, 2024 by Neal Saye

… the more the concept of a good picture of myself changes.

This evening, for instance, I walked the block or so from our place here in Historic District Savannah to sit up on the bluff from the Savannah River and read.

OK, OK, maybe it’s not The Iliad. But it is a whole bunch of escapist fun.

For some inexplicable reason, I decided to take a selfie …

And there you go — an Older Age Portrait.

HAPPY MONDAY EVENING FROM SAVANNAH!

“Morning”

At Origin, one of our favorite coffee shops here in Savannah.

I felt guilty taking my first sip and messing up the artwork. (But not for long.)

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Thankful that here in Savannah we made it through Hurricane Helene safely. Even though our power is off and tree branches are seemingly everywhere.

2. Classic grilling out.

(But not last night in the middle of Helene!)

3. Pretty purple.

4. Waking up each morning, as someone said, “on the right side of the dirt.”

5. Dog sitting with granddog Coastal last weekend.

May your eyes see a safe and splendid weekend ahead!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Savannah doors and windows showing off their living beauty near us.

2. The ability to recognize beauty as such.

3. My friend Riboclavin (long story about his unusual moniker, for another time) and his breakfast this morning in Munich, Germany where he is visiting.

4. Speaking of breakfast, my Apple Cobbler for Two this morning from provincial Savannah.

5. Another look at Approaching Autumn (see yesterday‘s post) on my walk earlier this morning.

May you approach, and be approached by, Beauty this weekend.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Daughter Amy and son-in-law Scott hamming it up by the river near their house.

2. HR suggesting we drive over to nearby Tybee Island for an evening walk on the beach.

And look! Another riveting film in my long-running canon of riveting films, this one starring the Atlantic Ocean, the Tybee Pier and HR.

3. The ability to WALK. What a blessing! I encourage you, wherever you are and if possible, to stand up and walk around a bit. What a miracle!

4. Sunlight on grass.

Washington Square, a one-minute walk from our apartment

5. My fellow.

May you have an Ocean of Weekend Fun ahead.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

Robert and I had a lovely hour perusing a new exhibit, “A Measure of Time,” at our local Savannah Jepson Center for the Arts.

Gloriously colorful, geometric shapes everywhere!

2. The ongoing belief that our bodies know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.

3. Colorful carrots!

I made a delicious new dish, Maple Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Fennel Seeds, with some of them.

4. Our “Travel Buddies.” Have I told you about them? Three silly little stuffed animals HR and I have given each other over the years. But they travel with us EVERYWHERE we go.
