There are days when my thoughts are profound. For certain, they should be shared with the world. Other days…..I’m lucky to make it through to bed time with any logical or inspirational thinking.

One thing I have noticed is that as I have aged, I reflect back on those that have gone before me. I am relating to another person’s journey through this life. How did they handle aging, lack of physical strength, or confused thinking?

Every time I forget something, or lose my keys, I ask that question of myself: am I losing it? Is this the first sign of being really old? I can remember in my 30’s if my memory failed it was because I was so busy. So much to do! And really…..it’s not that I ask the question of myself, it’s what are others thinking of me?

It’s really disgusting when I am given the senior discount without being asked. Dang it—is it that obvious? I have had this profound thought……..it happens to everyone. Fight it all we like, we will age. No magic face lift, special diet or exercise plan will prevent the inevitable. When Jack LaLanne died I was convinced—he exercised and juiced everything….and he died.

Just another profound thought. Is it comforting? No, however it is paving the way for me to find comfort in being seventy!
