I Am Old

An Old Person is just a Young Person who wakes up every morning in an old body. That’s it.

Once I get moving and the joints get lubed it’s not to bad. Always stay young at heart!

But don’t you feel like yourself still? I mean you have more life experience under your belt, and likely more wisdom, but your inner person is the same now as you were when younger. @SageWanderer

@Carissimi Yes, it’s just that my brain makes promises my body can’t keep.

I know it. @jackson55

@Carissimi I know my body is not the same and will let me know it when I over do things. But my mind is still growing; gaining wisdom, learning and building memories. I have seen the effects of the mind growing old like it does with dementia and it’s not pretty.

I know, but that wasn’t my point. @SageWanderer

@Carissimi I understand, but I am not the same person as when I was younger. First off I was too naive. Secondly I was still trying to find myself.

I think we are on different pages, but I get what you are saying. My point was something different, but no matter. Enjoy your day. @SageWanderer

@Carissimi Enjoy your day too my friend. I think we’re trying to say the same things, just the difference in male and female minds trying to express it.

That’s always a possibility. @SageWanderer
