Aging Adages

10/4/13 We all know the old age adages. Especially those of us with our Medicare cards.
Old age....  : 
-is NOT for sissies.
-is better than the alternative.
-comes at an inconvenient time.
-mellows some people, others it makes rotten.
-carries an inflexible mind set by people who don't care what you think.

I know I am aging because.... of doc appts. on my  "At-A-Glance" calendar
  • one doc has me keeping a "dizzy data" diary, 
  • another doc has me keeping a "tinkle" tally AND
  • when I returned to my car AGAIN to get something I needed for my doc appt., I left my purse on top of the trunk.
I think I should have scheduled  a dementia doc---geriatrician on aging, or a neurologist.

I, and others, "could despair" (Psalm 27:13) with all the aging changes.  But God....has us "one anothering." Encouraging "one another" thru funny emails and cards about bathing suit shopping and frying bacon in the nude---just like old age, you know it's going to hurt----you just don't know where. Even scripture to lift our spirits. 
...though our outward man may perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. ..........(2 Corinthians 4:16)
I prefer that encouraging word from scripture rather than the adages of aging.

  1. Thanks to Alabama Carolyn for the affirmation. God's Word does triumph----that's real important to remember as we age.

    "I'm with you, Dotsy. The Word over the adages."
