Getting Older

[Trip McNeely]

I feel my mind is like a teenager again, I'm close to the half century mark, where I feel I'm going too fast and it's causing me to forget things. I have never been diagnosed with add or adhd but I know have it, parents never believed in medication so the old man was hard on me because of it. Ugh it sucks sometimes, and can be quite expensive.

You aren’t alone. I get this way too. I chalk it up to just the pure volume of things I have going on at the moment and trying to juggle as much as I do. I need to start writing things down otherwise I forget or space things out. A guy only has so much time he can spend thinking about all the things that need attention that often times things go overlooked or there’s not enough time to consider everything, thats when I make errors or things get spaced out. Frustrating but not sure how to change it with all that I have going on. I figure as long as I don’t space my kids out and make them a priority the other shit will figure itself out in the end.

Just like a vehicle, as you get older the check engine light starts coming on.

Well both my vehicles have permanent check engine lights on…… they aren’t flashing yet so that’s good I suppose thats about what it’s like getting old….. just make sure the light doesn’t start flashing.

You can either adapt and overcome to what age throws at you or you can sit there and accept it.

I prefer preemptive strikes verses sitting in a defensive pos.

Nobody is immortal.

I’d add control what we can control. Diet. Weight. General health spiritual health mental health etc
