Wouldn’t you know?
Most days, I feel like I am 25 years old. In my mind.
There are many occasions when I think I still have my 25-year-old body. But my body is quickly reminded that it is not as strong or as agile as it used to be.
Yesterday, I had my yearly eye exam with my fine eye doctor. In one year, my vision has declined.
I’m not hearing so well out of my right ear, either.
As I went through my daily exercise routine this morning, my neck started hurting. For no good reason.
Later, it came to me.
I might be a relic.
But living is good. And I am fortunate to have all my senses. And the fact that I can move and walk and breathe on my own.
So, while things may be getting a little rusty, I must remember that the oiling can is still working. And for that, I am grateful.
