As I’m sat here typing, I know I’m getting older, but I still think I’m 25. I’m not. I’ve actually felt the slow-down more these past few years. Time to make drastic diet changes and drop a few pounds. Yep. Getting older IS for the birds.
Getting Older Sucks!
When I was a kid, I wondered how ‘older’ people could get so out-of-shape, eat all the wrong kinds of food, smoke cigarettes, and down pints of beer.
And before you know it, you start morphing …
Now I’m more than twice the age I mentioned. And things do not get better with age!
The Doctor Will Fix What Ails You
When you’re “young,” you have an aversion to prescription drugs (birth control pills aside). Blood pressure pills? Nah! They’re for the old farts. Cholesterol pills? Not for me. I’m young! I’m invincible!
Actually, you’re NOT invincible … take it from this old fart. One day you’ll be getting on up there in age and wonder where did the decades go. Time has flown by, but honestly, have I been having any fun? It seems the older you get, the harder you have to work. At everything.
If You Don’t Use It, You WILL Lose It …
I used to hate the saying “if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it …” but it’s so darned true. My dog is now getting older. She is losing the ability to use her left rear leg. It breaks my heart. And if I sit here in this office chair much longer, I’ll be losing the ability to walk past the mailbox.
Take Heart You Millennials
Take ‘care’ of your heart, that is, millennials. Cut out the smoking. Drugs aren’t cool. Booze will kill you. You’ll be fifty before you know it. I actually think millennials are much smarter now than when I was their age. They’ve got much more access to learn about health issues, and how to eat better, exercise the right way – in general – be good to themselves so they won’t have to morph and mope.
That’s all for this post. I need a nap.
