You have heard of hardening of the arteries? I think I have hardening of the brain.
Like this afternoon when I was on the phone with a woman who was helping me to register online for a class at the local community college. I was going a bit nuts trying to follow her directions.
So, I admit that I am:
- Getting older looking, but not always feeling older.
- Getting tense, frustrated and irritable more often, but mostly still relaxed and calm.
- Getting more physical pains, but still feeling pretty good overall.
- Getting off-balance more often, but still able to get around well.
- Getting less good sleep, but still fairly well rested.
As long as my “still pretty goods” outweigh my “getting this and thats” I am content to have old Father Time do his thing.
You know the saying, “You are only as old as you feel.” I feel pretty good for all my 74 years. And for that I am grateful.
What will I say at 80? At 90? At 100?
I should only live that long.
