I drag around a lot,I have for a long time, but lately it is showing up in little things that I do.
Some of my dragging is due to my physical condition. I had to learn and accept in my 30's that working an 8 hour day was not in the cards for me. That cat naps in the afternoon would become a norm, and without them by 6:00P.M. I'm useless to everyone including myself. Without a nap I become an extremely grumpy woman, and that is saying it nicely.
But lately the dragging has gotten worse. There are times that the staircase at Bible Study might as well be Mt. Everest. I don't even debate with myself I head for the elevator.
I can find myself getting tired walking to the mail box or opening a bag of potato chips. What is the point in making a package so hard to open? It can't keep them that fresh.
Parking to far from the Wal-Mart entrance can put me into a frenzy. It's a running joke between Art and I on how close or far he can get before I complain.
I guess that I can console myself with the fact that I still haven't fallen asleep in church or in the middle of my "silver sneakers" water aerobics class. Sometimes I wonder about some of the other participants :)
Probably why they have lifeguards on duty 24/7.
I can laugh now, but IS THAT MY FUTURE?
For now I'm thankful that I really do have the energy to do most of what I want. Its just the little things that sometimes cause me concern.

Literally, "laughing at the days to come". I am absolutly certain that does not include being in denial about the (possible) days to come.
Thank you,
IS it important that I am already a member of the "silver member" aquatic club at the y?
Hears to laughing. . .
