so, i must be getting old. no, my hair isn't turning gray. no, i don't all the sudden have an urge to eat dates or prunes. it's not even because i know what the world equity means (i purposely forget it each time someone explains it to me... keeps me young).
i'm old because i've decided to give up some of my stubborn opinions that i hang onto like some kind of image insurance. i'm tired of 'em. i'm tired of being bugged with certain things. or thinking that something is better than something else, just because i have some emotionally founded opinion, not based anywhere within the realms of reality.
what's the first to go? well, i thought about the country music one, but decided that might be too hard for the first one. the first one i ran into last night was all the christmas craziness. instead of being disgusted at all the extravagances, all the overdone shininess, all the materialism; i decided i'm open to enjoying the beauty of it all. the lights are pretty, even if people put them up after halloween. the shininess does create an intense season of holiday-ness.
anyway, if you're also feeling old, perhaps let go of some of those hard-held opinions that really just don't matter. maybe there is more out there that is good than we first think.

but COUNTRY MUSIC??? i just don't know
once you're old... well, no, we may never like country music. but, maybe i don't have to hate it so much.
although, never, i repeat, NEVER like achy brakey heart. there's a difference between strong opinions and understand something that just sucks. :)
Good post! Way to appreciate the glitzy Christmas splendor, especially living where you live.

I amin the minority here, you should let go of the country music thing, and I love country music but HATE my achy brakey heart!
