Day 14 Coming of Age at 62 | Not accepting being sick
I’ve been sick for a few days. Coughing, ripping my guts out hacking, off and on chills, eyes burning, fatigue and questioning myself as to whether I’m exaggerating what I’m feeling. I guess I’ve still not come of age when it comes to getting sick. “Come on Cherry, you can push through how you’re feeling [...]
Day 13 Coming of Age at 62 | I have a dream. So can you.
I always wanted to be Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a borderless thinker. A paradigm shifter. He was willing to think big. Dream big. Go against prevailing thinking. Fight for social justice. Be a voice for those who couldn’t speak for themselves. And, I would bet, he articulated ideas and thoughts that many people [...]

Day 12 Coming of Age at 62 | Down with sensible undies
Rule breaking is still fun! Even if it only involves some paradigm shifting about age. I bought my first-ever leopard print underpants recently. I’m wearing them today while I work.

Day 11 Coming of Age at 62 | Believing in me
I adore sports movies, particularly those based on true stories. You know the ones, where the small town team with no resources and a lot of heart beats the big team with all the resources. Like The Hoosiers. Like Glory Road. Now I can add The Express, a drama based on the life of college [...]

Day 10 Coming of Age at 62 | Emotions Rock!
I had an argument with my son this week. Actually I argued, he remained the ever rational one. In the context of this blog, the only important part about the argument is what I realized from it. I’m no longer willing to apologize for having emotions. I am a good person who is emotional and [...]

Day 9 – Coming of Age at 62 – Bashing Another Should
The woman was as old as dirt. Deep lines scored her face. Blue veins ran like flooding waters across her hands. A wig perched atop her head which overpowered her small head and frame. It was a bouncy, perky youthful style, which spoke volumes about her, as did the blue eye shadow and outlined lips. [...]
Day 8 – Coming Of Age At 62 – Finding Purpose
I finally accepted my purpose in life. I fought it, thinking it wasn’t BIG enough. It came too easily. But when you come of age at 62, it’s time to embrace your calling. Chatting. I’m a natural. I can chat up most anyone. My ideal person just needs to: have a sense of humor (I [...]
