Getting *Old*
You’re right, Courtney. One time I was 17, too. That’s (getting old) why
I celebrated all the month of May this year when I marked 60 years!!! I
was/am amazed. I knew I’d die and picked the ripe old age of 35 when I’d
probably be gone. Who’d EVER believe I’d hit 60!! Do I feel *old.* NO WAY. I
hurt in many places, I’m tired, the ringing won’t go away, but I look at age
as just adding on another day - one at a time. One day you wake up and even
now I’m 3.5 months PAST 60!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow’s another day. Then there’s
another, and another. It amounts to adding on more eperiences; they call
them birthdays, but you are still the same person with the same brain and
accumulated knowledge. Someday I won’t have another 24 hours, but while I’m
still in my (questionable) right mind, I’m going to take advantage of my
faculties and accomplish what I can.
