OMG! This lady and I were twins separated at birth! Great age related post!
My lovely mother, Trudy.
I turned into my mother yesterday. It’s good because Mom was fun, neurotic and beautiful until the day she died. It’s bad because at the age of 55, I became . . . gasp . . . a youthful senior citizen. It’s been looming for awhile, this thing called old age: worsening eyesight, wrinkles, diminishing physical ability. But yesterday, my intermittent knee pain hit with a vengeance while it was raining. Dear God, I’ve gotten to the point where I can predict the weather with my arthritic knees.

ohhhh aging.
If we can do it well great! I’m all for that.
I’m 61. These days proper blood circulation comes at a premium. I wake up, gently slide to the edge of my bed, say thanks for my blessings, and then start rubbing my hands, elbows, and wrists like crazy to stimulate better circulation. I’m thankful that ample blood is still flowing to my brain. Otherwise, my memory would be askew, and my behavior would be all over the place. I could pray for relief in all other areas of my body. Then I realize that just being alive to feel anything IS the relief!!!
Sounds like a good plan. Thanks for the info.
You are very welcome!
