Elderly Crossing

I am coming to the realization lately that I am in need of getting myself into better shape. Just my walking around all day at work is starting to hurt a bit more then usual. Maybe it could be my shoes that need changing out or maybe it is just the starting signs that I might actually be getting older.

That is a novel thought in itself.

Me? Getting older?

No...

That age stuff only happens to other people!

It is always a funny and scary thought for me, the idea of actually growing older rather then just being a kid forever. What is slightly more humorous is the idea of how I, like many kids, always wanted to be older so people stop telling me what to do. And now here I am and I wish the clock would slow down a bit and I realize that there is no going back.

I am also realizing that I need to be more appreciative of the life that I live right now. Part of the reason why I have been going through life just one day at a time is because thinking of the future does scare me. What is to come? Good health or bad? Rich or poor? Better or worse? I really don't want that sort of things plaguing my mind.

But it is getting harder to ignore as the days seem to being flying by faster then ever now. I could have sworn it was only just 2009 yesterday...

Hell it is almost a natural disaster the first time I found a white hair on my head. That was the end of the world! But nowadays I'm better about it I think and I don't panic as much as that first time.

Now I just stand in front of a mirror and search like a frantic manic.

Better, yes?

I don't think I'm liking this being old business... and I'm not even that old yet!
