It isn’t so much the aches and pains but the duration.
Everyone gets aches and pains. Usually they come and go and know one knows why. Head, back, knees, fingers, you name it. That is a part of life.
When you get old you begin to wonder, “Is this the beginning of something serious?” I know so many people who are miracles when they can walk into church. I observe people in grocery stores who can hardly move without leaning hard on the cart. When I get a pain in my foot I wonder if it will go away.
So far, so good. I am blessed and grateful.
Getting old is an adventure. Some people never make it.

Sad but true.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that so far they go away. But then a new one arrives. Oh, well.

I'm with ya! Until my joints warm up, I walk like Tim Conway's Little Old Man, and I haven't even hit 60 yet.
ReplyDeleteI was just demostrating that shuffle in class yesterday. Relax. You are not officially old until you hit 65.
