Dangit I wish I was young again! Not sure why but it seems this is the year where my body and mind are saying screw you.

IWhen I was younger, I ran a marathon, dove to 150ft, jumped off of ships and stayed up all night doing nothing that's good for you - and I always bounced back. But now...I spend a day in flip flops and my body kills frown Being in a weekend tournament totally exhausts me. ARGH!

Oh well, I guess that means I have a lot to be thankful for smile I have my health so I can go to the gym for 2-3 hrs a day, I spend my weekends in sport tournaments because I have a family that I love and that loves me, I have a job and responsibilities that make me no longer want to stay up all night doing things that aren't good for me. Now I have a brain that I can think through things and spend time trying to make my tiny world a bit better every day. So perhaps today I'll pay attention to my head space, go have an afternoon nap and listen to the rain on the tin roof on our back deck, go check out the 10 teeny tiny baby chicks that we hatched and enjoy what every day brings.

Aye, I like this post. As we get older, sure, we can't do the same things we did in our younger, wilder days (and, but for nostalgia, probably don't really want to . . . at least that often wink ). Plus we get to appreciate all the good that's out there that, in our youth, we never thought we would - if we took time to think about it at all. It's a bite in the ass that the physicality has to wane, but the moments of transcendent clarity, such as taking the time to enjoy the sound of rain on a tin roof, can at least offset the sting.

Oh yeah, and what are you complaining about? You're only 33! tongue Wait til' you're in your 40s!
