I love how you smile into the mirror at the end C.J. I am trying to respect my body more now, as l age, by better listening to it. Hope the aches and pains have been bearable for you today 🥰
I so appreciate your sweet concern, Simone. Today was an extra strength Tylenol day, but that’s okay. Yesterday I had a great day and between the two, it was a worthy tradeoff <grin>.
🤣💜🙌🙏🏼 as long as you enjoyed earning it and the pain is bearable. It is just gone 2.15pm here, so l think you’re up late? I am having a slowish day, though l did just now the lawn. No teaching today, my 5 day weekend has started. Hope you get a restful sleep for your body ☺️
Might go into the ocean in the next day or so, depending on the wind. Need to also start my next post. Don’t worry, the inner child will play. Hope your pills kick in soon 🥰
Minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years - they all keep going along, until they don't. Until then, ride on and let's not worry about the clock or the years. They will continue perhaps with a little more effort on our part now than when we were younger. And that's OK as long as I have the energy, the desire and the motivation to keep going. Yes, I get tired sooner and more often, so I take more naps. The guy in the mirror? Oh, him again. SMILE. 😀
I can identify with all you say! I am grateful for every new day. But recently, after a long and eventful road-trip, I found I was not as nimble on my feet and got tired sooner.
I know, I know ... three quarters of a century, Ken. That's a lot of Extra Strength Tylenol days. But you know what? I've also had a lot of great days peppered in and those are the ones that I want to wake up to ... and nice friends like you. Thank you for reading! 😁😁
Great post C J . I just can't respond to it , being my age and my severe health issues . I can answer 1 question , yes I am scared of dying from my cancer and fighting hard to beat it . hugs and love to you and family
I wish I could take it away from all who have that and heart disease , Me I will beat it or die trying . As for others on the page ,Yes we get aches and pains and some days need Tylenol .Yet if keep getting pains a lot please see a DR , that was my mistake ,just thinking it was age related . hugs and love to you and family
Great post, C.J.! If age sneaks up on us because we’ve been busy living, I think that’s a good thing. 😊
It is! It totally is!

You’re up early —are you teaching today?

I slept an hour, then woke up. Knees are aching. I will try again in a few after my Tylenol starts to kick in.
I’m glad you have your 5-day weekend! Excellent! Do something fun!

Thank you, Ma’am, heading in that direction right now. Praise to that inner child. She’s wanting to build a sand castle. Did you know that?
Have fun, Simone!

That guy in the mirror is A-Okay. Eat when you’re hungry, drink when you’re dry, sleep when you’re weary, and … SMILE, smile, smile.

Rest up, Valerie. If it was particularly eventful, especially. Thank you for your comments.
This is the truth, and we are better off embracing it! 🤗
Probably so, Trudi, Thank you.
You describe the feeling quite well.
Soupy Sales ??? Oooooo that does age you 😧 No wonder it’s a Tylenol day 😆😆😆

Oh Mitch, I’m so sorry —I wish I could take that away for you and make it so it never existed at all.
hugs and love back to you triple
