It is in my nature to measure just about anything that can be measured.
When I started a regular exercise program (in my 60s, for the first time in my life), I started measuring how long it took me to walk 3 miles, how long it took to run 100 meters, etc. I kept track and I was pleased to see that I was getting faster as time went by.
I knew that getting faster would not last forever, that age would bend the curve the other way. I just didn't know when that would happen.
Well, it happened.
That doesn't bum me out. I knew it was going to happen. As BJ once wrote, "I took the good times, I'll take the bad times."

ReplyDeleteAnd the bad times...they can be good times. I've definitely observed the curve bending without measuring it in a spreadsheet. It's just lovely. But I'm holding on and get to hold you and plan to immensely enjoy the ride on the curve until...well, until it goes flat. Look Mom, no hands!
ReplyDeleteYou made it a lot longer than I did. I work out to get weaker. Oh well.
