MY PATERNAL GRANDFATHER LIVED TO BE 98 YEARS OLD.  He once said to me, it was not a lot of fun getting old, because many of your friends are gone.

At 89, I am finding his words to be true.  I don't do the things I once did, like running 5 miles, walking twenty-five miles or going through the Infantry Infiltration Course.  At this point in life, I wake up looking for spots of my body that are free of pain, and wonderful when it is without any discomfort. Yes it does happen.  I figure God has richly blessed me.-- just enjoy it,  

I often walk as many mornings as I can get out our safely, Otherwise check out the treadmill.  Check the blood pressure often and keep your doctors phone number handy.  Read the obits daily.  One day I'll be there and so will you.
