As any senior will readily inform you.... technology has passed us oldsters by!
Smart phones are too smart for the majority of us and IPADs, IPODS and IPuddles are way beyond our learning curve. However, there are a few times when I wouldn't trade my electronics for a million dollars.
At around 7 p.m., most nights, my spouse and I retire to our bedroom. We sit down, in our comfy chairs, and proceed to watch whatever programs we want to see. Scott, generally, is under-the-covers by 9, and I watch something or read, until I go to bed at 10.
Last night, we were following our regular routine, and at 9, as he began at prepare for bed, I asked him, "Do you mind if I turn the TV down, a bit? It's really loud."
He replied, "I know it's way too loud for me, but I thought you needed it that loud to be able to hear."
He turned down the volume and I turned up my hearing aids. Yet another bonus to having my newly acquired hearing aids. He can listen at a reasonable volume and his lovely wife, MOI, can either turn up or turn down, her electronic ears! Imagine, cranking up the volume, without a complaint from my "hearing" partner.
It's music to my ears!
Dear God. Show us how to grow old gracefully. Give us patience to deal with one another with love.
We honor Your Power.
