Well tell that to my body that refuses to do anything but lay in bed or anywhere it can find some soft cushy-ness to lay my head. I just peeled myself off the couch downstairs. SMH. I've been trying to tell one of my girlfriends that will be just turning 30 next month that the older I get the tougher it is to bounce back. Granted, I take pretty good care of myself, but I still need lots of rest ... otherwise, I'll be the lazy bum I've been since I got home 3 days ago from my vacation in Miami. Unmotivated and unmovable. : (
I'm 6 years her senior and biologically I probably feel like a senior citizen compared to her. My hips and knees have started to snap crackle and pop. But she refuses to believe my qualms are real. She'll understand once she gets my age...and by then I'll still have more things to complain about, because after all I'll still be 6 years her senior. Getting old is real no matter how you look on the outside. (singing) Clean on outside, Cream on the inside. LOL.
Although, I'm blogging from my bed, I'm still planning to check things off my to do list today: working out, completing some admin work and more beauty rest. LOL. Hopefully, by tomorrow, I'll be back to my old self. Imagine if I had drank all kind of crazy. The only getting up I would be doing is to use the bathroom. I've never been an alcoholic or in love with liquor but I've slowed down on drinking a lot when going out...which is the only time I would get my drink on. I've realized that no matter how much I loved to do some things when I was younger, my body is not in love with it anymore. Being healthy, staying in shape, growing mentally and looking toward my future is so much more important than a party or drink.
I'm not a party pooper, I just try to listen to my body. And how bout people that say, OMG you don't look your age? Well what is my age supposed to look like, really? If you think I look 25, well let me show you some pictures of me when I was 25 ... NOPE, don't look 25 boo! But thanks for the compliment.
It's inevitable, we are growing old. Stop trying to hold on to a number that you will no longer, eva eva eva be again. Let it go. You are the age you are ... embrace it because that number soon will be gone too. You look 25 but you ain't so deal with it. And if you are still acting 25, then that's another issue I guess, especially if you're 55. LOL. I'm not saying you can't be young at heart, but you should not be acting like you did 20 years ago ... probably like a damn fool. And especially since GOD has blessed you with lots of experiences and wisdom. Don't get me wrong, I still act silly and have fun. I just do it at a different degree now. I'm sure you get what I'm saying.
So stop trying to grow backwards and move forward with the years ahead, because we don't know how long any of us have.
Until Next Time ... GO GET SOME REST AND GROW UP! ; )
Not sure how I feel about this entry but I support your writing from entry to entry, just the same. I say age has nothing to do with it, you feel how you feel in the moment based on the current circumstances. You may feel young, old, tired, excited, energized, sad, happy, silly, mature, and so on. Dont limit yourself or act a certain way because your age dictates certain actions. Just like you say "well how should a 36 year old look?". I say "well how should a 36 year old act?" Thats up to you and no one else. As long as your happy with who you are than age is out the window. And your right, we dont know how long any of us have so make the best of it and dont sleep it away. Looking forward to my youthful 30's *insert big grin here*
