Generations

Just as I am about to write that turning another year older is just like being six, I am proved wrong.

Not that I am turning another year older until next November, but today I experienced a small setback that would never have bothered me when I was six.

I ran out of steam walking this morning and it was probably because of helping my daughter move yesterday. The unaccustomed trips up and down a very small flight of steps left my legs sore and crampy. Then, because I walked too fast on my first mile, I was too tired to finish the whole walk today.

I was able to go back out this afternoon and do another set, so all is well, but it was an eye opener.

Turning six came up because my friend turned 70 yesterday and we were talking about how much younger we think we feel and look compared to our parents and older generations. I do believe that is true, but maybe  we are not as young as we might like to think!
