I slipped down some stairs a few weeks ago, but I am doing OK.
I got up this morning but my feet did not want to do the same. They seemed to want to remain asleep and not be the wheels of my day. I insisted, so they begrudgingly obliged. They have been doing this a lot lately but come to life in a matter of minutes after I get my motor running. It is no big deal and I have decided to put this inconvenience in the column of my life under the title, "the crap I have to put up with".
I looked up some quotes from people much smarter than myself and their take on aging. None of these are too deep, and they did put a smile on my face.

A
"Age is not a particular interesting subject; anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough"
Groucho Marx
- I will answer with Groucho's own line. "Time flies like an arrow; Fruit flies like a banana.

Simply said, but it is about making the most of the moments you have and always, always, watch your step.
