Keep A Stiff Upper Lip.

If hard luck your spirit is riling,
Just face the old world all a-smiling
Keep a stiff upper lip.
If your pocket is empty don't blow it,
If your feelings are wounded don't show, it.
If gloomy let nobody know it--
Keep a stiff upper lip.

Со мною вот что происходит:
Ко мне мой старый друг не ходит,
А ходят в праздной суете
Разнообразные не те.

“Get over it” attitude.

Get over - преодолевать, пережить, оправиться.
‘I got over it. One of the reasons I like Prince Philip is his “Get over it” attitude. If you make a mistake, you can’t dwell on it. Everybody has miserable things happen to them. Of course you cry and feel betrayed. But then the next week you go on to something else. I was stupid in both those cases. With one I had the excuse of being l8 – and he was a matinee idol – but with the other I was 50, so I should have known better. But I was the best at moving on. I majored in it. I know that sounds flippant, but it isn’t. It’s what life is. I was never that worried about anything. If I get angry, I’m over it very fast because life’s too short to carry grievances.’

...открыть им то, что мы любим в этом мире.

"Мы открываем для своих детей мир. Думаю, что мы даже обязаны открыть им то, что мы любим в этом мире (а не только то, что "хорошо", "надо" или что мы от них хотим). Главное-то не в этом. Главное - показать, что эта возможность реальна: любить что-то, вдохновляться чем-то. Это важно детям.
(Суждение основываю на опыте бабушки с дедушкой, родителей и моём собственном опыте с дочерью).
А пути у детей во всех случаях свои собственные."

Песня дня.

Это было летом, летом,
Это было знойным летом.
на асфальте разогретом
перед входом в старый сад
Ждал я встречи под часами,
Как томились вы когда-то
Может быть, совсем недавно,
Может, сорок лет назад...

How to grow old disgracefully - This Britain!

How to grow old disgracefully - This Britain - UK - The Independent: "Flirt with whoever you like - no one will take you seriously anyway. Avoid wearing white - it shows up yellow teeth. Forget about going to university - didn't you get enough of that when you were young? And whatever else you do, don't even think about joining a book club. Just because a woman is older doesn't mean she has to lose her lust for life. There's an art to enjoying your golden years, and Virginia Ironside, herself a sixtysomething (never lie about your age - you'll only get caught out) has it sussed"
