Although I cannot do the same things as I could just 5 years ago, and although the wear and tear on my body is obvious and limits me with what I can do, I still do not feel old. I still think I have my life ahead of me, and there are good things in my future.
I enjoy life. I am happy to be alive. I am not as active as some people are, and I am not as interactive as some people are, but I do enjoy experiences, including new and different things. And, I find that there are many people who tell me I am very active and adventurous in my experiences.
I have not done much traveling lately. I have not been motivated to travel. But if there is something in town that sounds interesting, I do take the opportunity to experience it.
I enjoy learning,. I was attending the Osher Life Long Learning http://www.depts.ttu.edu/outreach/ classes for a while, but the timing of their classes is difficult for me. I either have to miss work, or rush to classes after work, neither of which is comfortable for me, so I have decided to opt out for now. Maybe, in the future, I will re-join.
I like my weekly junk food fix at work, when they sell snacks and junk food. I get excited about my favorite sports teams. I enjoy pleasant surprises. I like word games and other puzzles.
I am not as young as some people my age, but I do not think I am old, wise, or stuck. Sometimes, I think I am, then something arouses me, and makes me realize "Hey, I am not that old." I had some moments today that made me realize that I am not as old as I had been feeling lately. And, I power through some of the physical trials I have, and get it done, although I am struggling. But I realize that I am still very blessed by all I can do.
