When my dad told me that growing old is not for the weak, I had no idea just how right he was about that. The young people think they are so great for being fast or strong, and they can be a bit condescending at times. You know who is strong? The older people who do all that physical work with the ten million aches and pains through out their bodies and still getting the job done. We may be slower, but our bad backs, knees, shoulders, wrists, ankles, and left ear, won’t stop us. To be honest though I am questioning my life choice of helping my neighbor scrape shingles off his roof yesterday. I was promised cookies and lunch though. I would never take money as payment for helping a neighbor, but cookies and lunch? OH HECK YA!! Seriously, I would do just about anything to not have to prepare a meal. I am one cough away from being bed ridden.
