Lumps, bumps and aging
There's that saying about the Golden years that lays it all out.
Remember that old folks are worth a fortune-with silver in their hair,
gold in their teeth, stones in their kidneys, lead in their feet, and
gas on their stomachs.
Or to that effect :-) Sad, but true. My FIL used to say "gettin' old ain't for sissies". How true. Then what can we say about 'getting old with MS'? Well, the good thing is that we are here and even though aging, we are still here.
No one said it will be easy. The times are challenging to say the least. Sometimes I can barely stand to watch the news and frankly I no longer think it is my duty. I watch to keep up to date on the rumblings in this ol' world, but I know all I can do is cherish my vote and when the time comes vote wisely.
My own thoughts is that I don't need someone to promise me freebies. A helping hand when justified is fine.
Anyway, considering my MS I'm doing okay. I'm not the Grandma I'd wanted to be, but I'm Grandma and can still put cookies in the oven and do a few fun things. I have great sons, a great DH and so why complain? (Okay, yesI do that; I admit it. Heck, I'm grumbling right now because my dern fingers on my left hand will not co-operate andinstead of 'shift' I get the Ctrl key and hence italics....grrrr. The right fingers love to get stuck between the keys or hover in the air 'thinking' which key they want. I used to be a secretary (yeah, dinosaur) and type a lot; hands flying over the key board. Ha, ha....
No more. Oh well, I did manage to post this! So, I'm just saying 'Carpe Diem' (Seize the Day!)
