My rings no longer have a chance of falling off. This is so good. And, of course, there's the eyesight factor in the whole thing. Which of course is good, because the house doesn't look nearly as dirty.

I rarely write anything anymore and when I do it shows...As far as being old, my saying for that is: Yeah, I'm Old. But at least I made it.

My hand writing is the same and most mornings, especially cold ones the rings fall off. Luckily no arthritis of any kind anywhere on this young-old body of 54 years.

Vi Member Registered: 05/21/05 Posts: 252	Ladybug, my young-old body is 56. The reason I used the word kids is because my 97-year-old aunt Lottie called anyone the age of her children - kids. My mom talks about those the age of her children as kids. Aunt Lottie is my hero, still. She died in 2000. Her hands where knarled with arthritis. Her hip didn't work right. She was losing her vision and her hearing, but she was in touch with those on the otherside. She told me about it. I love the woman so much. With all her wrinkles and broken parts, she was so beautiful. She let nothing defeat her. Einstein said that we stand on the shoulders of giants. She is one of the giants I stand on.

Vi Member Registered: 05/21/05 Posts: 252	To some extent old is good. When I think of all the time I wasted thinking about things that now I consider irrelevant, I am glad for the passing of time and the places it has taken me - or I have taken myself. I don't want to go back to being 20 or 30 or 45 for that matter. Inspite of some of the physcial difficulties, I like being 56. So yes, I consider myself old, and no I don't. The body is marching along to old age. The spirit is growing. It's a good thing.
