Getting Older

[Zogman]

On getting older…

- C.S. Lewis

"Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you are aboard there is nothing you can do about it."
- Golda Meir

"The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened."
- Mark Twain

- Ann Landers

"When I was young, I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties, I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then, and I’m labelled senile."

Past the point of "getting older". Hell I would feel better if I was just "older". Dino now comes in play. LB

If I would have known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.

I’m around that “crossover” point for lack of better terms. My mind has the will and determination to write the checks still yet my body isn’t as good at cashing it anymore. I’m struggling accepting that I can’t do what I once could. At least without repercussion. I look back at the things I used to do or lack of sleep chasing waterfowl and can’t even begin to understand how I could even function. Now if it’s not an evening hunt I’m not interested. Even then setting out 1000 snow decoys doesn’t appeal to me anymore……
