Goodbye, Folks!!

Grammyisms: "It's hard getting old."

Hello, all! This journey has been fun, but this will be my last post. This blog has been a wonderful experience and has opened the way to a new understanding of old age. This blog also allowed me to explore my creativity in writing.

If you remember why I started this blog, it was to open people's minds, as well as my own, to old age.  I also began this blog to talk about my grandmother, who is my inspiration. Although watching her age has been difficult, due to her memory loss. Today, she was diagnosed with Dementia.

I feel bad that she is losing her mind, but somehow she is happy, and just laughs as she forgets what her diagnosis was. This blog has reminded me of the type of woman I want to be when I am older. I want to be as strong as she is.

Although it is hard to watch someone age, and to see them change, it is also inspiring. I am excited to grow wise and careless of what others think about me. I am excited to see where my life takes me and all that I will experience.

This blog was meant to shine a bright light on old age and all that it has to offer. Just because one is old, it does not mean their life is at a permanent halt.
