Getting older, a privilege?



Privilege


" Getting older" ,  someone said, " it's a privilege". 

Older people are vaccinated earlier, but yes, now there is a stop on the vaccinations.

The elderly are allowed to travel by train with a discount, but yes, not because of the lock down for now.

The options for team sports training have been expanded, but not yet for the elderly.

This time seems to be very difficult for the youth, they are losing part of their youth, they say. The elderly, yes unfortunately, have long since lost their youth.


I'm sure he said privilege, heard it loud and clear, so that made me wonder about what a privilege is or used to be.


And then it also rains  .  .  .


Keep healthy and optimistic, the world needs it.

The Carnaval is over

The carnival is over. . . And because we like it and are still in the Low Country, we celebrate it, so on to Maastricht. And how busy it was, much busier than expected because the weather was not good.  But Carnival in the rain remains, maybe a little wetter than planned Carnival. Stay healthy and optimistic, even when the Carnaval is over . . .

After the renovation

Image
  yes, we did our best, but now they are on the roof, our solar panels.  The bathroom has also been renovated in between, so it was time to get out for a while.  Not too far, just a walk in nature and then also shoot a heron. Not really, of course, so no gun was involved, but with a camera.  Oh yes, and we will also go to a sunny country this year when it winters here, but more about that later. Stay healthy and optimistic, you will feel a lot better doing so . . .

Gifts, gifts.

Image
  Apparently we are now in a period where we give a lot of presents. The period in which we received a lot of presents seems to be behind us.  Not that it's a bad thing, rather the opposite. So it turns out to be true, for us at least, that giving is better than taking.  The presents are for the little ones, the children. Wonderful to see how happy they can be, how intensely they enjoy unpacking and the surprise when the gift is unwrapped in front of them. The absolute highlight appears to be the permission to bring a present when it is time to go to sleep. Stay healthy and optimistic, the world can't do without it!
