Aging is somewhat humorous and exciting...both at the same time...
The first sign that comes with the graying of hair (if there's still hair there), is the innate ability to predict the weather...not necessarily current weather, but the weather as it's apt to present itself tomorrow...!!!
Some say this is a result of arthritis symptoms becoming overly sensitive to weather changes...This is probably true, but doesn't account for the ability to rise from sleep automatically, reliably, and promptly several minutes before the alarm is scheduled to go off...On occasion, I've listened closely just to make sure there wasn't something about the alarm clock itself that would cause one to awaken prematurely before the alarm sounded...
Now that I've handled the graying and loss of hair problem by keeping what hairs are left ‘close cropped', it is time for me to admit that the ability to predict weather is kind of neat, albeit having to put up with some minor aches and pains to master the technique...!!!
My concern now, while I'm contemplating losing a few pounds and toning up some sagging muscles, is whether or not I will lose this body barometer by getting into better shape...!!!
In any event, I just thought I'd share these personal, intimate moments with some of my readers...all of whom are aging right along with me...!!!
Now have a great rest of August 2010, and listen to that body talking...!!!
