Tuesday + Getting Old

Spring break is over, and it's back to school tonight. There won't be much to report. The gnocchi for dinner last night was wonderful. I have three months to loose 15 pounds and it starts today and everyday from here on out. There will be more slips and falls along the way. I don't know if I can make it even though I've made the commitment. I don't know if the old body will hold out. My hip has been killing me as of last couple of weeks. My gait and posture are all off kilter. It is what it is.

The funny thing about getting old is you never think it will happen till you're there, and then you look at yourself and go oops, look what happened while I wasn't paying attention. I fuckn' got old.
Then you look back at your elders who have long ago passed on and you remember what they said,
"Just wait till you're here, you'll see." Yeah, now I get it.

I also know it is human nature to fight old age, and decline, and that is exactly what I intend to do. I'm not going down without a fight it, or as Ernie Isley said, "You got fight the powers that be." old age is one of those powers. It's a fight that in the end cannot be won, but one you must fight none the less.

That's it today.

Peace,
