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!

Yes, it's that much more important; especially when I look into the mirror! Thanks Sara.

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.

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

When I get to the bump on the log stage, I will swim away from myself. I hope it is not coming soon.
