I was in my dr’s waiting room last week. I was sitting next to a nice lookng young Black man. We were watching the news. I was afraid to say anything because I thought he was a liberal. I changed my mind when he said that only the Lord Jesus could fix this country. We started talking and had a great time. His appt was before mine so he left earlier than I did. I watched him leave the office but a few minutes later, he was walking toward me. He said he just wanted me to know how much he enjoyed talking to me. My late husband use to tell me I would talk to a billy goat if he could talk. I just enjoy people and frankly at age 70, I really do not care what anyone thinks about me. I am comfortable with being myself. If someone does not like what I say, it is their loss! : )
“frankly at age 70, I really do not care what anyone thinks about me”
Yes! I am getting this way the older I get too. I still shy away from confrontation and probably not as assertive as I could be, but if someone decides to escalate a situation I have no qualms about calling them out, and having the last word.
