Oh, the old gray mare she ain’t what she used to be…

Ain’t what she used to be…ain’t what she used to be…the old gray mare….she ain’t what she used to be…many long years ago!

Boy do I feel that reality! My weekend warrior spring cleaning is taking a toll on this not so young body of mine! The hot pad and topical sore muscle relief cream have become my best friends.

I remember the days when I would vacuum and wash the floors of my house and then go in to work a full day for an afternoon and evening! That would do me in at this stage of the game…ah, youth how quickly you have faded!

I don’t seem to be able to get quite as much done as I once did.

I do need to pace myself, remember that things take me longer to do, and be realistic that I don’t have quite as much endurance and strength as I once did. This is not easy for me to do.

My mind is much younger in its expectations of the rest of my body!

Perhaps it would be helpful if my mind were to catch up with the rest of my body or perhaps not…best be careful what I wish for!

My mind wishes me forever young and I suppose that is what keeps me going and going in pursuit of the good old energizer bunny that I once was!

What do you notice about the changes in your energy level?
