a life to live by

Eh the first thing me thinks is what to eats.

Yeah, what hurts when you works.

What hurts is usually “all of it”.

Which way to move, which way not to move.

I play a guessing game……what time is it????

Every morning I’m usually here reading the Comics ;-)

Me, first thing; “can I make it to the bathroom without turning on the light?”

And the list seems to be longer every year.

Also, am I vertical and looking down at the grass.

My first thought, daily, is are all the outside animals (my horses and their ring leader) still home.. after a head count, THEN I feel the pain… or not.

That inventory is ongoing, and changes as the day progresses

Love the look on his face… LOL

mine is usually – head shoulders knees and toes – yep all there, all complaining, so what else is new. then if I can stand up without falling over – IT’S GONNA BE A GOOD DAY. some coffee, let the dogs out, some humor, some scripture, and finally some work – BORING but good.

Our first thought at the crack of dawn is, “I sure hope this isn’t heaven!” then we realize we are still alive and on earth.

I’ve found that just about everything hurts. And whatever doesn’t hurt, doesn’t work.

Pretty much my morning routine.

At 63, I’m occasionally reminded of what sometimes still works in the morning…

“The only parts that don’t hurt are the parts that don’t work.” ~~anon.

Well, he’s sitting up. So far, so good.

When you wake up alive, it’s a reasonable start. :)

In our house, “what hurts, works.”

“Built in the fifties, all original parts, some still in working order” – favorite slogan on a T-Shirt

It’s hell getting old

usually it everything and nothing.
