The aging process has now become very real. As I talk with others my age (some a few years younger!) we all have something in common. Surprise!! How did this happen? When did I get “old”? Maybe it was one incident that startled our brain; i.e., an accident or injury, friend’s death, etc. So many of us have recently dealt with our parents demise. We have “junk” and “stuff” that was so meaningful to those we lost, but now clutters our garages and basements. There is an acute awareness that none of these earthly goods will follow us to our eternity. Now we think about where will I live when I can no longer care for my home, or even myself. How will I shop? Why do I even care if I shop? And the list goes on and on……I certainly didn’t give this any thought ten years ago!! Ramblings….is this what an aging brain does?
