I’ve read how the definition of old is changing. Some years ago, one was considered old at 60 or 65. Now the age group of 60 to 69 is referred to as young-old, while old is now 70 to 79. A new term has appeared, “old-old,” which begins at the age age of 80. Now that I’ve turned 79, I’m planning on enjoying my last year of just being old.
But with old-old only a year away, I’m rethinking my bucket list. I’m removing a horseback camping trip through the Montana mountains. This was wishful thinking, anyway. Aloma and I rode horses on a trail ride a couple of years ago, and it took a team of cowboys to get me on and off my horse. I wouldn’t be a welcomed addition to a long trip in the backcountry.
I’m also removing a photo-safari in Africa from my bucket list. There is no way I’m flying to Africa.
So what is still on my bucket list? Relaxing on our deck, drinking a glass of wine and watching our plants grow. This one is definitely doable. In fact, I'm going to get started this afternoon.
