Getting Old

Getting old is not exactly what I thought it would be. Of course, I remember looking at someone in their 40s and 50s and thinking how old they were. Well, now I look at them and think how young they are. You find yourself thinking back to the "old days". You're very likely to hear someone my age to say, "Well, when I was younger, we ..." and then we start telling you how it was back then Please don't get offended by what we say, that's just the way we are. We often just speak our minds. Just let us share our wisdom (from years of experience) with you.

Some of the effects of getting older (I'll be adding to these as my rambling thoughts bring them up):

• Our bones sometimes creak when we get up out from a sitting position.
• We don't always move as fast as we used to.
• We think a lot about the past.
• The music channels that we listen to frequently have the word "Oldies" included in the title.
• We can remember an event from 50 years ago, but sometimes have a little difficulty remembering your name.
• Our minds often have grandiose ideas of what we can do, but then our bodies tell us, "What in the world were you thinking?"
• We are prone to try to share our wisdom with you, so you might just need to nod and smile as we talk.

I'm at the age where the next day my body whispers to me don't do that again.

More to come ...
