Signs of Old Age

Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
Your little black book contains only names ending in M.D.
Your children begin to look middle-aged.
A dripping faucet causes an uncontrollable urge.
You look forward to a dull evening.
Your back goes out more than you do.
You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do.
Every time I think about exercise, I lie down till the thought goes away.
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I will live forever.

You have to love your sister, especially if you are looking for a dose of honesty. During our usual Tuesday morning chat I gave her my long list of "what's ailing me" today. She patiently listened and then not so subtly said, "well, sounds to me like you are just getting old!" So, there you have it. I had a look for symptoms of old age and sure enough I have many symptoms.

I love our Tuesday morning chats, I love my sister DeeDee.
