GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #145

How to feel young when you are getting old?

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #144.

Good morning Friends,

Everybody wants to look young, when getting old,
Some rely on work-outs, others colour their hair;
Many use face lifts and remedies that are untold,
Some even think of means that are rather unfair.

Colourful shirts and pants are part of the game,
Some even use phrases that’re in with the boys.
Then there are those whom I’ve often heard claim,
That thinking like you’re young brings one real joys.

You can try out many methods above and more,
And still feel that youth is actually slipping away.
So I shall give you a method you can explore,
If you see merit in it you can even start today.

To rejuvenate yourself take up a hobby that is new,
Writing, music or poetry which you couldn’t do before,
It should be something that you’ve set your heart to,
And not something that becomes yet another chore.

Gradually, raise your level from novice to expert,
Discuss with people who have the same passion;
You would see that you don’t even have to exert,
What keeps you young would be this obsession.

Gradually, you would have an interest in life,
Exactly how you had when you were still young,
You’d feel free of stress, you’d be rid of strife,
Joie de vivre your own way you would have swung.

Begin a new hobby, begin life anew.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
