Is age only a number? People like to think that but I don't believe it's true. I've seen brilliant friends of mine who are showing sharp signs of dementia. I wonder if these cells ever get to be regenerated.
It's a fact of life that as we age, we lose ability. Like me, I used to be able to hear better than I do...and when I try to adjust my hearing aids, they whistle, which annoys my friends and me included.
I've fallen a few time, so now I'm using a cane and I feel more sure of myself. I've also shrunk since I fell on a cruise ship 6 months ago and broke my back.
But I'm one of the very lucky ones. I still drive and do my own shopping. I go to dinner once or twice a week, and when I do that, I bring enough home for another meal, they give such gigantic portions.
I still can carry on my end of a conversation and people do like to talk to me because I listen to what they have to say. We don't talk over each other.
I'm grateful for so much...and for living in this electronic world. Wonder what's coming next.
