I'm having one of those days where I feel much older than I actually am. Really old, like I can't stand straight old.
It's amazing that there are people out there who have the energy to go camping, rock climbing, or even bowling. I look out the window and the day always looks beautiful, but out of reach because I just can't seem to get up without too much pain.
Thank God for the little things, like the memory of a friend who used to put together the oddest things in a sandwich (potato chips), a concoction that has tied me over when I can't whip up something else.
Not what I really want to - my only daily prerequisite is coffee, dilluted or otherwise, as long as there's a smidgeon of caffeine to tell my body to not give me a migraine later in the day.
Of course, coffee is not good for the body. But neither is a lot of things, and given what I have to quit, coffee has nothing on those things... So coffee is here to stay for now.
But I do appreciate the invitations I had today for lunch. I'm looking forward to grabbing that bottomless cup at Ikea soon...

I am 40s and pushing 50 soon, but i still go out to hike and climb some mountains once a while. Walk and jog, swim.
Used to be quiet and timid as a kid. I came to learn active very late in life, but it is still not too late to enjoy one of these life's little things when our body and bones are still able to do it.
At 28, it was those heavy jogging days!
So, my message across is : get up and go for it.
