Old age is setting in!!!!!

I remember when I was growing up and for several years while in the military, I felt I was invincible.  I had no aches and pains and felt great, was not afraid of anything , and could work 15 hour days with the best of them then one day I woke up and BAM!  Old age start hitting me.  Without getting into too many details about my health, I am amazed at how everything went to shit! Eyes, Back Knees, just to name a few, Thinking about my friends from the past I am amazed as to how many went bald, my hair is gray but am balding, most of us wear glasses and I do not want to mention anything about weight!  Most of us are grandparents now and the group that was so invincible is now over or getting close to 50.  I remember my ex wife in the bathroom one morning looking in the mirror bummed out.  She said her hair was turning gray, her boobs were sagging, and she had gained weight.  She asked me to say something positive; I told her that her eye sight was damn near perfect! Hence the term ex, LOL anyway I am amazed that when I wake up in the morning (some days) that is as good as I am going to feel all day.  I swear I hate taking a regiment of medicine everyday!  I take pills for high blood pressure, pills for this and pills for that, this doesn’t even touch the vitamin supplements.  I think it is pretty awesome that I grew up when I did.  Could you imagine what all the tattooed people in this world will look like when they turn 50?  Thank God I will be dead or not care by then!! I could write more but should go take a nap!   Until next time
