Getting Old?

[gizzy32]

Do you remember being a kid and having all kinds of energy, not a care in the world and stress was being grounded for a day, lol. Life was all about having fun, yet most of us could not wait till we grew up. I remember saying I can't wait till i am older and can do what i want, what the hel l was i thinking, i would love to go back to childhood or early teens, life was so much different. Although I am not old (33) I have noticed some changes, maybe too cause I am clean and the past 5 or 6 years have been a blur, but damn i feel old somedays. Instead of waking up like i did as a kid and run for my box of cereal, i run for my coffee and chain smoke first hour of the morning, what a healthy start. I have noticed that my bones crack a lot more and old injuries seem to hurt again at times. I used to play hockey and run track and all kinds of sports, but now running up stairs i get out of breath and cramps, wtf. Now i am not out of shape completely, thank God for my job, but my stamina is not what it used to be ( only in one area has that improved) ha. I have also noticed i will say things like "i remember 20 years ago...............". I remember being 20 like it was yesterday, why am i talking about things from 2 decades ago? I sometimes have to use a heating pad for my back and i have moments of being a grumpy ole fart. What am I going to be like at 50? I hope i don't turn into one of those people that will keep your frisbee if it comes in my yard, complain about what's wrong with today's children and i really hope i don't ever have to wear depends, if that happens, they can pull the plug!!!

You know what they say? You come into this world wrinkled and crapping yourself and will go out the same way! God I hope not. I am probably older than anyone on this forum, so I know the first part is true already. Vanity disappears as we get older, I have also noticed! lol
