Aging

Aging

Those days when your metabolism says, "No, I will not perform like I did when you were in your 20s."
When the buldge just won't go away
Unless you completely stop eating
Some days, the thought is not that appalling.
 
 
Another day, another gray hair
Thank goodness for a $7.00 bottle of hair color.
With undisclosed chemicals I'd rather not know about.
 
 
Sunday morning routine:
Try to find something that doesn't make me look frumpy
Cry
Repeat
 
 
When marriage changes dramatically
from rainbows and sunshine
to roommates occupying space
each of us wondering how we got here
 
 
When you realize, happiness and comfort
Are not the goals
 
 
The depressing moment
When you realize
The work involved
In serving
Others
 
 
Sure, it's noble.
Yes, it's right
The rewards are far off and worth it
I know, I know.
 
 
Evolving into another being
Painful to say the least
Necessary
but heartbreaking
To leave her behind.
