Talk To The Body

My spirit is young as is my soul My inner child playful and cheeky I wish they would have a word with my body Who is old, stiff and creaky!

PHEWEY… I worked out years ago… my mirror is a distortion of reality and I (we) am (are) the person I (we) see in my (our) head. Wow… that got complicated. Nonetheless, in my ‘head world’ I’m thirty something, with flowing blond locks and a 32 inch waistline. I have no idea why my dad lives in my mirror ;-)

Yes Deb. I now suffer the same. My life is a new game. Some vital parts now die, However much I try. But I stay positive And reject negative. Best wishes. Tony.

Love that word, 'cheeky,' Deb. Haven't heard it since Julie Andrew used it in "Mary Poppins" (I believe it was). Cheers, Gershon

Getting on in years sucks big time, It won't be long before they'll offer total body transplants, you'd still have your young mind though lol. Tom

Getting older has it pro's and cons for sure Tom but the old body does tend to get stiff and creaky while the mind is still young ha! Debx

We live in a retirement village which I call 'Gods waiting room' read my poem going back some years. None understand poetry, I WANT TO SCREAM. What would i do without my poetry Soup gang and Hey, if you happen to be married they are like piranhas, hold on to your husband for dear life, as the promiscuity is intense. Thank God, he does not know they exist, and is my loving adorable hubby. You just think you are old, stiff and creaky, you sound like a spring chicken. HUGS Jennifer.
