Getting Old Sucks

Getting old sucks big time!

 

Small little things like going down on your knees, getting in and out of a low car, and even getting up from a chair seem to be so  much more difficult than they used to be - and I am not even what I term old.

 

Being South African I think that we have the right to strike against old age. We immediately want the government to intervene and either prevent  us from aging or compensate us for it, it is after their fault - I mean in South Africa the government is to blame for everything so why not old age.

 

On a more serious note I recall how my parents used to say that we had to look after our bodies and be careful of injuries because they would haunt us when we were older. Wish I had listened more but of course when I was a teenager my folks were just old fogies who knew nothing about life.

 

Now my previous injuries are haunting me and causing joint pains. Of course I am issuing the same warnings to my kids but of course now I am just the old fogey who knows nothing in their eyes.

 

Life is really just a circle and I suppose soon my kids will be treating me like the kid!
