Just when do you know that you have reached this time in your life? Outside of your age, when does your mind tell you it's your time?
Is it when you're looking for your keys, eye-glasses or just about anything only to realize that you have had them in your hands all along? Or is it the pain you feel making that first move in the morning? Let's say it happens when you have to use your knees only to find out that they are no longer supporting you like they have in the past? Could it be your decision to put all the fast food places on the back burner-Wendy's, Hardee's, Mickey-dees, because they might cause you to have a gas attack when you least expect it? Then again it could be when certain kinds of liquids run through you faster than you can swallow. The list goes on and on.
Now you have more respect for the older people, you know the ones who have been telling you for years that getting old isn't for wimps. Now you're starting to understand what it is they've been telling you.
Oh my God it's my turn!! Ain't that a trip.
Go gracefully Ruby... it's really true, age ain't nuthin but a number.
