Once Upon a Time

Once Upon A time... 


This is not a fairy tale.

I use to be younger... 




I use to be 20 something...
I use to be 30 something...


40 - 50 - 60 something.

I have lived in 8 different decades 
2 different century's
2 different millenniums

The Issues...

Not too long ago my mind 
saw me as still 40 something
Still very physically able.


Recently... my body drastically contradicts my mind,
to tell me I'm not 40 or 50 anymore.

NOW... my body tells me I'm 80 something. 
NOT THERE YET.

Two facts about getting old. 
It's not for pussies.
The alternative is ... Death...
not a good choice. 
Conclusion: there's no good choice. 



Just making the best of things.
Knowing your limitations.
( that's a biggie)
Trying to be active.
Trying to eat healthier.



Keep remedies handy...
heating pad, cold packs, ibuprofen,
hot showers, bio-freeze, Salonpas,
and the old easy chair.
Nature helps too.
Don't forget the cane, when needed.

Just can't do what you use to.
