Getting older is not for the faint of hearts

 

Well I am feeling every bit of my age....late 50's! It is 7:00 pm and I am ready for bed! Why? Well glad you asked. First you need to know some great news. We closed on our house and it is officially ours!! But that means, today we were out there, all day, cleaning. I really need to know my limitations. My mind and my body have not synced yet. 

Today I did more- 

• crawling around on my knees cleaning baseboards, 
• bending over to wipe down doors, trim and cabinets 
• mopping ALL the floors (our house is all hardwood, no carpet!)
• and climbing on ladders to reach those high spots on the door frames and high cabinet shelves.

  Doesn't sound too bad, if you are about 20 years younger than me. My back and knees are feeling it now. And I am exhausted! I guess from all the work along with all the excited of our new house, I am spent. And I made a new friend....Advil.

Funny how our bodies and minds don't think alike. I don't know about you, but I tend to go with my mind and think that I can do more than I can. That can get you into trouble. Especially someone like me who is accident prone and will trip over my own feet just walking. Yep the floor just jumps right out at me!

As I am (trying) accepting growing older, I think about all the experiences this life has given me. And I am just adding this to the list of my wonderful life adventures. I wish you all an abundant life and adventures too!

1 Timothy 4:8; "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."

Isaiah 46:4; Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."

Love to all,
