With this day, that is. At least for a little while. I am worm out, pooped, and exhausted. I have been running around the house and the internet and now it's time for me to rest.
Do you feel your age at any point of the day? I do today. I am over 50 and my body knows it. Sometimes, I think I just might be getting old.
So, I will turn on the coffee pot, put my feet up, and have a real big cup of delicious half/caf coffee.
Hope everyone out there is happy and healthy and full of energy. Take care and have a terrific rest of the day.

My aging body protests all the time and my child's mind angrily retorts "How dare you?"

@crazyhorseladycx Cutting out quilting patterns can be difficult when you have your mind on other things.

I haven't told my body how old it really is yet, as I've been lying to it for years to make it think it's still young. So far the mind-trick is working, but I think my body is starting to get suspicious.

@HazySue I keep telling my body it's 29 years old. I think it's getting suspicious though.

Little Feat put it perfectly in the song “Old Folks Boogie:”
“And you know that you’re over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill.”

@andriaperry It's funny the older we get the earlier we go to bed.

My brain feels like I'm 20; and my body feels like I'm 90.

It is funny how that can happen. The mind is will but the body is not.
