I have reached the age where I no longer have to do something strenuous in order to injure myself. From time to time, I’ll wake up in the morning with some mysterious ache or pain that doesn’t seem to relate to any recent activity, as though I lost a jiujitsu match with the comforter in my sleep.
In the past few months, I was asked by a sales clerk if I qualified for a senior citizen discount - not yet, thank you! - and a young lady offered me her seat on the subway. The inevitable is approaching.
That said, I thank goodness that I am still in reasonably good health. Last evening, my heart went out to some poor old fellow who was bound to a wheelchair. He was talking to someone about the good old days when he graduated from high school - in 1984!
Wait... What? This guy was still in grade school when I graduated. That realization sent my head spinning.
Stay fit and healthy, my aging friends. Our vitality is the only thing keeping the inevitable at bay.
