How would you describe yourself to someone?

SELF DESCRIPTION

I am a 77-year-old man. I am old and full of years. When I was born in Australia in 1946 I was a baby Born into a population of 7 million people. In fact, the population have only just checked over to the 7 million mark.

I was born in Geraldton in Western Australia at a place called Nazareth House. at that time Geraldton was a medium-sized Country Town – of course these days it is a regional city.

Nazareth house, my birthing place has now been turned into Nazareth House, a place of retirement offering care to the aged.

I have been wondering Whether I should make contact with Nazareth House management, with A view of going there to end my days in the place where my life started. I ponder this quite often.

I still have all my hair, now white.

I’ve grown a beard – in fact my beard has been on my face since 1975 and I grew it because I was suggested to me by aboriginal person at my place of appointment as the school principal that I should grow a beard because I look too young to be a principal. So the beard is there and there the beard has stayed.

I am no macho man, my skin is ageing, I have a benign cyst on the right hand side of my nose and it’s been there for the whole of my life for it is a blemish with which I was born.

Why I don’t drink alcohol and have sugary drinks very sparingly, I am horizontally enhanced – which is politics speech for being rather fat.

I’ve chosen to respond to this question in a fairly roundabout sort of way and have desisted from going into anything to do with other than superficiality is. That may be because I really don’t know myself very well.
