Sick of hearing from us every day? Click here to get the Sunday only send.
Hello and happy Sunday, dearest members! How are you all? Fine, I (Jarred) hope? It’s been a long week at the Seniors Discount Club, so I’m doing well now that I’m getting a chance to relax, thank you!
So yesterday, I found myself thinking a very silly thought: I wish I could be a chair. But before you think I have a few screws loose, hear me out! Saturdays are usually when I clean the house. But since I’ve been struggling with sleep recently, I overslept again and woke up around noon. On weekdays, I’m wide awake at around 7 AM, so that’s how out of sorts my body clock is at the moment. With the hours I lost to sleep, I then had to squeeze my usual schedule for the day to do the same work in a lesser amount of time. It doesn’t take me the whole day to clean, but I’m sure you get my point. In the middle of my distress, I saw my chair and randomly thought, ‘I wish I were a chair, passing the days doing whatever chairs do.’ A second passed, and I let out a startled laugh at how absurd that line of thinking was. Who even wants to be a chair?! I certainly wouldn’t enjoy being sat on for
hours as my life’s purpose. And so, as I do with so many errant thoughts, I dismissed it and went on with my day. My place is as tidy as it can be, so well worth it, I guess? But now, I’m curious, members… If you could be an object, what would you be, and why? Let your minds run wild and free with this one — don’t be shy!
Moving on, here is our Sunday quote from member Kel A., which is also very apt given my wild thoughts yesterday:
‘A day without a laugh is a day wasted.’
I couldn’t agree more! Living in the moment is one thing, but living in the moment with a hearty laugh is an entirely different level of its own. That’s why I regularly lurk in our Jokes, fun, and games forum, always searching for the next joke to make me laugh out loud. It goes without saying that the rest of the team and I really appreciate those who tirelessly send jokes in the hopes of making someone else smile! You know who you are, legends. 😉
Now let’s look at what happened across Australia and around the world this week:
