Am I Too Old For This???

I had lunch with Brenda last week and we both realized that we have a lot in common. It’s so hard to find single women who still want to be active and do things. After two years I found Debbie and we went on a cruise together—my first. It still scares me half to death to do some of the things that I do. First of all, what if I mess up? What will people say about me? Well, I have started putting all of that aside and just put myself out there. Brenda asked me if I wanted to meet her Saturday and have dinner and then go dancing. Of course I said yes, but I thought I will be sitting there like a knot on a log. She said oh no, you will have a good time. I have to admit I was a little scared. I did dance with a couple of guys but I ended up dancing with a man named Paul who was a really good dancer. I asked him if he takes lessons and he said yes. I had a ball with him. I left that place soaking wet! I told him he was wearing me out and he said that he thought it was the other way around. I have to tell you, Paul is just a little older than my daughter. It’s hard to keep up with somebody that young! As Brenda and I were leaving I told Brenda that the beautiful bike outside the door belonged to Paul. About that time Paul came out and Brenda said Diane wants her picture on your bike! I wanted it for my grandson who loves motorcycles. You know, he told me he thinks I’m the “coolest” grandmother ever. Well, it was a little difficult getting on, and then Brenda said you two act like you like each other. So, there you have it! There is no attachment between the two of us, just fun. I may sit on a motorcycle, but I’m not sure I ever want to be on one when it is moving. They scare me. How am I today? I could barely get out of bed. I have to admit I had a lot of fun and I’m glad there was somebody there who knew how to dance—not that I’m that good, but it was fun! DR 8/4/2013
