Getting old(er)

posted May 21st, 2018 at 8:34 AM

It is starting to happen to me... my friends and relatives are dying .... I am now over 50 and have looked up several people I used to know, and some of them have passed away... my body is breaking down, getting sick, developing aches and pains, in my job my employer is not relying on me much anymore, no more chance of promotions, in fact I will be lucky to hang on to this job... soon to be a senior citizen ... using a cane... inside I feel at least 25 years younger but my body is not agreeing with that... still enjoy life, even more in fact

Lose weight.

Flab drags people down into Hell faster than anything else.

My mum started doing yoga at 50. She is 59 now and she said it has helped her immensely. She’s flexible and strong and when she does intense gardening she has no aches or any joint or muscle pain at all. It’s intense enough to give you a workout but gentle enough not to cause injury. I highly recommend it. Find a good teacher and try to go twice a week if you have the time. Your old(er) body will thank you!!

Hey at least...

.... You got to your 50's... I'm in my mid 30's and I have a long list of dead friends, lovers and loved ones... Job prospects aren't great, debt piling up and few injuries from my 20's keep me more or less in a constant state of pain. I don't even want to make it to your age

Think....

How that works? But the fact that you still despite everything enjoy your life is the only diploma needed on your wall. BTW I drive past my former doctor's practice- out of his house on Mayfair and he still hangs his shingle out front! I last say him in 1970!
