The Self Help Look
I’ve thought of writing a self-help series to help myself deal with life and aging. You know something along the lines of; tips on how to get out of a chair or remembering where you’ve parked, and planned to hit the ground running on New Years’ Day.
Today is the first day of the year and the first day of the rest of your life would be the break out sentence. It’s catchy enough don’t you think?
The next day, I woke up thinking; every day is the first day of the rest of your life and readers might be bored. So, I switched to Today is the first day of the end of your life. I thought this funny and was amused with myself. After all, as my golfer husband says, “We’re on the back nine headed to the 18th hole.”
Would readers enjoy my black humor? I needed help and more than likely, unable to help myself. So, I put the self-help series on hold.
Then I found a pair of lost earrings and felt lucky. Perhaps I would focus on a series about luck. The lucky feeling continued when Bernie Sander’s mitten picture was plastered across the news.
Aren’t we lucky to have people like him to lighten the mood?
Perhaps I can help myself. I could call it The Aging Alphabet Series; A is for Attitude, B is for Brain Power, C is for Constipation, D is for Dementia, etc.

I think you’ve got it all figured out-aging with humor is the only way to go. We just need to laugh at ourselves more.
