Males and Females, how old is too old?

Males and Females, how old is too old?

Well, it’s time for my Sunday Funday blog, but it doesn’t feel like much fun. I’m back down south, but my brother’s passing is still heavy on my heart.  I know I have to move on, but I honestly didn’t think this could be so hard. Perhaps it’s because I’m pondering my own mortality and what kind of legacy I’ll leave behind.

I think we all want to leave our mark, but how to go about this?  I feel like I’m just coming into my own defining moments and don’t have a lot of time left. Of course, we don’t know how much time we have, and I’m definitely not afraid of dying … it’s just that I have so much to do yet.

It all comes down to being a procrastinator, yep, I’ll do it tomorrow, I promise myself once again. It took me five years to get my book written, and I think it only shoulda took me a year. I want to write another one, and I even have the title “Rising From the Ashes to Feed the Masses”. It’ll be about losing everything through a bankruptcy and then getting into the catering industry. Being down for the count, working our way back into solvency, no mean feat.

Meanwhile, I’m sitting outside on my patio and enjoying my morning coffee. I’ve been to the pool and got my exercise in (it never feels like work to me because I love the water). Here’s the thing, though. I was going to make myself a decent breakfast: bacon and eggs, homemade hash browns, and toast. Well, I fried up the bacon and put it all onto a couple slices of wholewheat bread and voila, it is sitting in my tummy… very yummy.

So much for good intentions. I’m not much of an egg person anyway, but I do make the best hashbrowns… Ah, well. There’s always tomorrow. I’m kinda a half-assed person, maybe? Although my behind is certainly not small, okay, let’s not go there. I start stuff all the time, but it doesn’t always get finished. But hey, there’s always tomorrow.

I’m also a Gemini… “oh look, a butterfly”. Some will get this, and although funny, it’s really not. I can’t help it; I get bored very easily and also distracted. Getting my book finished was such a chore, but at least it’s done and up on Amazon. Thing is though, I need to do an Audio as well, and I’m currently looking for a studio to record in. Yikes!

It also doesn’t help that I’ve started a podcast, which I’ve been wanting to do for over five years (see, procrastination again). Turns out this also requires a lot of my attention if I want it to succeed, which I do. I’m also looking for ways to make a little extra money. See, the government doesn’t pay me enough to be old. I’m not complaining, well, maybe just a little.

The upside is that my podcast has gone somewhat viral and has presented me with all these options. First off, it was me wanting to let all those menopausal women (I was one of them many years ago) know that there is life after sixty (I titled my book, Life and XXX after Sixty, a memoir btw, all true).

Between blogging, my book and now my podcast, who knows what lies in store for me. The only thing I know for sure is that I will always be writing, it’s just in me and fills me with the most satisfaction.

Secondly, my podcast, Ask Nana Anything, I wanted directed towards women. Well, skip to three or four podcasts in and a question from my granddaughter. “How old is too old to wear a thong?” brought on a deluge of viewers, mostly men, and went viral almost overnight. Let me explain here, I’m a virgin when it comes to podcasts, and I have no idea what I’m doing.

Thirdly and last, is this thing bothering me about leaving a legacy. I had a germ of an idea that was taking shape in my head, but also no way to know how it will work out.  I want to keep this dialogue with my male audience, and hopefully have more females join in as well. I want to keep us all engaged. I’m learning stuff from them, and they’re learning stuff from me! How cool is that?

This is all new and exciting, but I want it to be meaningful. Yes, it’s sexual in nature, but that’s why all these males tuned in, in the first place. Btw, I had no idea this would happen. I also need this to be a safe place to express ourselves and to get rid of all the misconceptions we’ve been brought up to believe.

The majority of these males are over 60 yrs old, with a smaller group 45 to 55 years old.  I like this a lot, probably because I’m older and I know we’re still sexually active, sorry/not sorry. (But we aren’t dead yet!)
