Sometimes I feel 8.... sometimes I feel 80... ha ha... I think I saw that somewhere one time, but it fit me so perfectly.

I have issues! I guess I've just accepted them as part of aging. I am off and on about taking care of myself like I should. Sometimes I get everything caught up, sometimes I let it slide as if when I get up tomorrow they will no longer be necessary. LOL.. Obviously I'm not bragging about that!

My Mom and I had a conversation and a little laugh years ago about all your life you realistically know that one day you will be a goner and you read and hear about accidents, diseases and etc, but nobody at the time seemed to talk about how you start falling apart very slowly.... one piece at a time over many years....each new thing, having to learn how to adapt and make it work in your life as best as possible.

It's a challenge, but you do it because... what else are you going to do?? I'm glad to still be here having to figure it out, but that doesn't make it less annoying.

Sort:  

It's as you say and that's just life I suppose. If only our younger selves could have seen the big picture, made different choices, maybe we'd be better off later but that's not really how it works I suppose...and life would be different then and now if we manipulated it that way. I'm content with most things I did and accept what happens now, those little things you mention, that mount up. I'm not one to feel regrets much at all and I've had a good life.

News flash: Still having a good life.
