This sixty-something thing ...... a couple days of not feeling so well followed by a few days of feeling semi-young and spry again ..... back and forth. The realization that it's not likely to change to consistently feeling young. Acceptance of it all! What choice do you have?
I see so many from my generation who appear to be feeling old all the time. I know I should be grateful for what I still have. But lately, I don't see this as a graceful or dignified process and I badly desire dignified. On the surface it may appear things are going that way but behind the scenes, behind doors and curtains, my fear is not so much.
It's funny but I can still do the more physical chores at work once I get it in my head that I'm going to go at it, which is generally when I grow tired of watching something not getting done or when I want the time to pass by a little faster ..... though gaining the motivation, that's never a given. Then again it never was. And I can still get down the stairs as quickly as ever when I need to. Going up is a different story but going down ..... it's like I'm still a teenager.
