M. L. Kiser Poet Sijo

Aging Is Exhausting

Aging is not easy, some days one feels like a sloth; lethargic.

Sometimes one feels as though eating is, a dreaded and exhausting chore.

But, one day you’ll realize, that bump on the log, is yourself!

Sara Kendrick September 27, 2018 at 4:57 PM Funny. One has to have a sense of humor when it comes to growing older. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara M. L. Kiser September 27, 2018 at 5:04 PM Yes, it's that much more important; especially when I look into the mirror! Thanks Sara.

Andrea Dietrich September 27, 2018 at 2:56 PM My aging does not involve these types of problems. I am energetic and love to eat!! However, other strange things have happened, so unexpected!!! I enjoyed this one. M. L. Kiser September 27, 2018 at 4:42 PM I used to love to eat; anymore it's the same old...I do still love cooking though. Wish I had more energy; I think the antihistamines have a lot to do with the lack. Anyway, glad you stopped by again. Thanks

Caren Krutsinger September 27, 2018 at 12:16 PM When I get to the bump on the log stage, I will swim away from myself. I hope it is not coming soon. M. L. Kiser September 27, 2018 at 4:43 PM Ooh, there's a thought! I'll have to try that. Thanks
