Getting Old(er)...
Friday, July 11, 2008 Edit This 4 Comments »
I was at a training today for work and after about the 1st hour, my mind started to wander as I stared at this older woman who was at the table next to mine. I thought to myself as I looked at her, wow! I'm gonna get old, (and the reality is, is that I am getting older every day). I think I'm scared to get old. I'm scared that I am gonna be old and alone, or what if I develop some sort of ailment like arthritis? I guess I can't avoid getting older, I can only do the necessary things now that will help me to be a healthy older me. Ahhhhhh. I'm scared, but it's inevitable.
4 What's on Your Write Mind?:
LOL - yup, we are ALL getting older. I think it's something we have to learn to accept. I think that's why we age slowly - so we can get the picture one day at a time. I'm with you on this post - lol...Lord, I'm with you - lol.
I'll move into the old folks home with you, Arthritis Iris. By then I will have a couple eight million weird old lady cats we'll have to smuggle in.
I went to a party tonight and met three rilly fun girls who are all just like me about six years ago, young, living it up in the city, at their first jobs. I rode home on the BART with one of them. She's 25, and when I told her how old I was (she asked -- I didn't volunteer!), she said,
"But you're so fun!" It was cute but also kinda depressing.
I love your random thought patterns during meetings! Definitely what makes you fun dearest. ! xo Lisa G
we fear getting older when in fact we should embrace it because with age comes wisdom.
i like the fact that i am getting older. there is not too much i can really do to stop the hands of time, but i can do my part to make sure that i live a long and productive life.
it's crazy because most of the ailments that we get as old age comes up us, most of them can be prevented by way of exercise and a healthy diet. even a disease such as alzheimer's can be avoided by keeping the mind active throughout the years. i am not afraid of getting older, but i am afraid of losing my mind, because without it we forget how to be happy-now that's something to think about.
