When was the Last Time you were Excited by Something?

[The Castle Cary Fairy]

A rather depressing conclusion to a conversation I was having the other night with a group of 40/50 somethings was that the older you get, the less joy / excitement one derives from things.

Is that true? It certainly can seem that way.

I look back over my life to date and events that I can call to mind that I associate with joy mostly seem to have occurred in the distant past. An amazing exotic holiday, falling in love, marriage, seeing an amazing film / musical, hearing the Paperlate EP for the first time.

Surely there's more to come or is becoming a cantankerous old sow just par for the course?

Hmmmm….inneresting….

I never liked Genesis until Gabriel left & then I heard the Paperlate EP and my life was never the same again.

Gosh, we'd never have guessed from all your super inneresting posts.

Last month there was a Thai masseuse, she did not have any underwear on; I was excited.

There’s nothing like the buzz you get when the police knock on your door looking for another missing person when you wonder if you’ve sound proofed the basement properly.

Living on the edge.

I’m at my happiest doing nothing really, so reading or watching a good film.

Everything I do is to enable me to do more of nothing. Get excited about anything would mean I’m not doing my favourite thing, nothing.

My best holiday was a few years ago, late flight so airport was pretty empty, so plenty of room to do nothing. Then arrived on an island and did nothing in the sun. Looking back I reached my level of doing nothing perfection on this holiday. Suppose that’s pretty exciting.
