Today I wake up and find myself in the reality that I am getting older. I feel it, taste it,hear it, and smell it. I used to be full of energy and willing to tackle anything. Now I find myself getting nervous about the smallest things.My multi tasking is getting harder, and more stressful. I long for a comfortable easy chair with a good book, and my feet up. It seems like just yesterday I was at the gym trying to put more weight on the bench press bar. I can remember being able to run a mile in about 5 minutes. Now I stress out over driving a mile in 5 minutes. My health is good, but my drives are being detuned. When I look at a beautiful lady, I wonder what it would be like to be with her and use my body to make her happy. Most beautiful ladies are looking for a beautiful man though. I'm a player, but I don't think most of them can see it any longer. I can remember when I could have had any lady I wanted. I wish I had acted on the desire many more times. Life seems so short, and just when we have our heads glued on straight, our bodies are starting to wear out. I wish I had yesterday's energy with today's brain power. I guess that would make me pretty dangerous. Oh well, My advice to any one of youth is to go for all the gusto when it presents itself, and give the old people a kind smile. We have been where you are, and have loved what your life is all about. |
