The wonders of aging
There is nothing more infuriating than not being able to find the right word when you want it. It’s like having an argument with an officious person in authority and then thinking of what you should have said when you are half a block away.
I don’t enjoy the physical limitations. I used to love playing football. Now that’s a dream.
I used to have great optimism and dreams. I wanted to change the world. My idealism is becoming tinged with realism. Every now and then I have to have a clear out in my head, round up all the pragmatism and kick it out.
Then you go into a room to get something and have to stand there like a fool trying to remember what it was. And you repeat yourself.
I don’t like aching.
I don’t like slowing down.
I don’t like time running out.
I don’t like aging.
Where’s the wisdom when you can’t remember the experience?
Have I told you about the frustration of not being able to find the right word?
Here’s a list of all the wonders of aging:

The Wonders of Aging
My electrons are orbiting slow.
My dreams are drying out.
I ache in every joint
And all I seem to do
Is shout.
From the way it now seems,
I’ve got desiccated dreams.
My memory is shot
I’ve forgotten who I was.
I repeat myself too much.
I think it’s because
My neurons
Are full of fuzz
So the electricity
Doesn’t buzz.
I wander into a room
To find something I’ve forgotten.
My memory is shot
I’ve forgotten who I was.
I repeat myself too much.
I think it’s because
My neurons
Are full of fuzz
So the electricity
Doesn’t buzz.

Yup….um, did I say yup?
Yup … er ….possibly
Yeah… I think whoever called them the golden years was really referring to aging being like a faded photograph! Where’s the wisdom when you can’t remember the experience? That’s why your family gets to the point where they don’t take you seriously! “Oh, she’s just gone round the bend again!” o_O
That’s where I score – age doesn’t come into. My family has always said I was around the bend!
I can only imagine it is said in the nicest possible way.
LOL, you two! 😀
I think so. People find anyone who is ‘free thinking’ difficult. Yet it is the dreamers and those who chose to be different who make the changes.
Let’s build that better zeitgeist! Let’s change the world!
And you Cheryl!
I get up with 5 guys every morning…. Did you hear that story?
No – tell me again. I may, as you see from above, have forgotten!
Very good, know what you mean, can we pretend it is not happening?
I spend my life pretending things aren’t happening. It doesn’t seem to stop them happening though.
Pretending, if I woke up and realized all mine had not been a dream. I have to pretend it gets me through the day wishing I had been someone else.
Now Anna – all we can ever be is the best us we can be. Live it to the full. All we ever have is the moment we inhabit. We have to make it the best moment ever.
This speaks to me <3 I hate getting older, can I stay younger forever
It’s a bummer. But biologically we have to make way. How else do we evolve? Our children are the future. Give them all the love to make the world better.
