Thoughts on getting older
by Zai I have turned 51 last year and will be turning 52 this year. I have noticed that I am feeling my age. I feel that I should not be saying it out loud, however I can't help but notice the changes that are happening to me, specially physically. I did not want to concentrate mostly on the physical but it is the most noticeable. Health issues: high blood pressure high cholesterol border line diabetes Body aches: Back pain Knee pain shoulder pain hand pain Physical changes: hands are no longer as supple and soft Neck has lines and other body parts face have more lines and discoloration, wounds don't heal as fast white hair I know we are meant to grow old. It had never bothered me before. I used to think that the elderly have their own beauty. But when we are at that stage that we are entering the aging process and the clock is slowly ticking, I now understand why trying to stay young has always been one of the desires of people....
