Go to A DAY OR SO IN MY LIFE! WHO CARES?

Life has definitely slowed down for me. Energy has waned, also the desire to go and do. I finally understand why my mother used to just sit and stare out the window, refusing our tries to get her involved or entertain her. It's nothing bad, just the slower time of life.

Old age is, I feel, one of life's curses. We trade wisdom for youth, knowledge for beauty, and we can hope that our minds will remain, even as our bodies start to fail us.
No, I am not there yet, but as all young people, I fear it. I won't realize it's here until it is. At the moment, I am 27, and I feel old. I feel like I've seen so much negativity and sadness, that my soul has aged before its time.
But I know I won't truly understand it until I hit that mid-hundred mark and beyond. Your post has certainly made me think, made me appreciate each youthful day as it passes, since I don't have many more left.

I guess each stage of life will only be known when it is actually experienced, Justi. Then again, some never do get to experience it, because they go too young. You are still a person with the biggest heart and caring nature, not at all the 'generalized' crabby old lady
. I agree, Blogit is a special place with very special people, and you, and also George because you bring him to us, are certainly two of those special people.

I think a lot of people feel the same way, regardless of their actual age. For me, life is sometimes like sitting on a huge conveyor belt. Although at times it feels like it's either speeding up or slowing down, it is a steady pace, and the same thing awaits us all at the end. Sure, you could 'jump off' the belt at any time, but no one really wants to do that! All you can do is enjoy the ride as best you can, and keep your arms by your side the whole time! You don't want to be 'removed' from the ride for disobeying the rules . . .
