Gritching grumps

We can choose to be gritching grumps in old age, the same as we chose to be disagreeable and disparaging in our adult years, or we can choose to make them joy-filled and engaged in life and what’s possible next.

Clear eyed

Clear eyed
How do we get there?
We work at it
Aunt Bee
Andy himself avuncular
Longer view, equable
Perhaps we don’t turn the world
We can be its safekeepers
Grumps can gritch
We can look for
Clear eyed
