I can not believe its just Thursday. This has been the longest week of the year.
I won’t complain.
Most days fly by and before I knew it I have a 17 year old grand daughter.
Birthday after birthday I notice more lines around my eyes and different pills in my pill pack.
My body fusses at me after a long day at work or a day on the couch. I snap, crackle and pop like a box of cereal. Some days it just refuses to move without a slow shuffle to warm it up. I know I should be kinder to it, but I refuse to let life fly by without me smack in the middle.
People “my age” should be more careful. Not push the envelope, sit on the sidelines.
Ha!
Pop wheelies in that wheelchair I say!
Push the alert button when you know that hot fireman is working.
Watch Magic Mike on a loop.
Make your grown children shake their heads and secretly hope they grow old with the same attitude as you.
I know I am years away from a safe alert button, however….
Growing old is my next new adventure! The second half of my century will be as eventful as the first.
New careers, hobbies, friends and memories.
I will take my vitamins but enjoy my pizza and wine.
I will not slow down.
I will try to stay out of the ER but I make no promises, there are still mountains to climb.
So pop that vitamin B 12 and skedaddle!
There are laughs and smiles to be had! Enjoy each and every one.
Go out ragged and worn, use up what the good Lord gave you. It will be all new again sooner than you think.
Love big
Lorene
