Aging really isn't for sissies


The older I get the harder it is to take care of me.

No more leaping out of the shower and racing off to work or play.

Now there is extra tooth brushing in order to keep these choppers white and healthy. There is more time devoted to oils and lotions to keep my skin from drying up and blowing away.

It takes a lot longer to exercise when I have to divide it into morning and evening segments. And the exercise I do has to be done thoughtfully so that I get stronger and don't injure myself.

I crave foods I never used to think about and weight is a bigger problem than ever.

Simply maintaining me becomes a major part of every day and the results?

Well, let me just say it is better to look into my soul than my mirror.
