Aging and Physical Challenges
God. Be ready to share your experiences and new
understandings with the younger generation. You are
needed!
Adapt to the changes the body goes through. Don't
give into being "old." Get out with people, learn new
skills, go to events that stimulate your mind, and keep
your body in shape. Walk and enjoy God's creation.

Take it one day at a time. I'm 55, and I like it. I
can't do everything I could do at 20, but I don't have to
do all that (the children are all grown). I like doing what
I can, and I plan to grow old gracefully and enjoy every
minute I can. I do the best I can with what I have.

You're only as old as you act. I am dealing with it.
By eating healthy and exercising, the body still allows
me to enjoy softball on the same team as my sons.
Having a grandson and doing "stuff' with him also helps
to deal with aging.

When you're only taking a day at a time you don't
realize the aging process is happening. Maturity gives
you such a sense of calmness you don't mind becoming
old. Gravity rules, everything falls, but who cares! It's
happening to everyone.
