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.
