Honestly, the first thing that popped in my mind was, "At least I've finally caught up to my legs!" ... Not long after puberty, I began developing varicose veins. Not subtle either. It's a family thing, but that didn't give me any comfort as a teen or young woman. In all seriousness? I've never looked or acted perfectly, but feel less pressure to try!<br /><br />My biggest challenge? That's easy: Technology! I suspect the term, technophobe was coined to describe my thick skull! :)<br /><br />I enjoyed your reflections!<br /><br />Hugs from Phoenix,<br />Myra <br />Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-49250497883000946502014-03-22T08:02:04.575-04:002014-03-22T08:02:04.575-04:00Jack you are just a spring chicken.

Then I start wondering if at 84 should I keep on trying to get the Dr. to fix me so I can run longer or give my space here on earth to a young human being.Joe and I forget names of his favorite thing, Country Music stars names, we keep bouncing things back and forth and all of a sudden the right one comes on.

Now I'm glad I have learned to not care what they think. It kind of makes me feel good to know someone like you who writes books and good ones can't think of a word at times. I have this problem and I hate it. Sometime I have to search for a different word meaning the same thing because I just can't think of it even though it's on the tip of my tongue.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-65718588552512330692014-03-21T16:06:55.933-04:002014-03-21T16:06:55.933-04:00I don't drive a new car, but did buy it new al...I don't drive a new car, but did buy it new almost 20 years ago. To tell the truth, it is not driven much by anyone but me. Ha. We have a newer truck, but as long as one gets me around I will keep it. Sheila is all time asking me to write about years gone by, but I haven't done much of it. I don't know if any of my children read my blog, except her and Shawn since Ronnie passed away.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086892547554603237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-20055069473068957312014-03-21T14:42:34.570-04:002014-03-21T14:42:34.570-04:00Jack, you said, "Those of you who are aging.....Jack, you said, "Those of you who are aging..." Well time is only moving in one direction for all of us (even if you did get a head start on me). <br />I'm enjoying reading your story.<br />What is frustrating to me about technology is that things get obsolete much quicker now. If I plunk down the money to buy something, I'd like to be able to use it a while before it's out of date.<br /><br />bonnie k.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-31377076319736929782014-03-21T13:08:56.947-04:002014-03-21T13:08:56.947-04:00Let's see = a lot today.

I own no china, no silver, and no crystal. I don't have a new car - drive a 2000 Honda CRV. Don't worry about traveling - don't get me wrong I would love too, but it is not in the cards right now. <br /><br />My biggest issue is the darn Iphone 4. Took me a long time to learn it and that means old to me.<br /><br />I am trying to have courage growing older. The kids tease about it but I think it is a real issue.<br /><br />The greatest thing about aging is you just don't care as much about everything as you used too.<br /><br />Bras - can take or leave them - mostly leave them! <br /><br />I try to look at life with laughter.<br /><br />Sandie<br /><br />Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-83579373575709348932014-03-21T12:36:06.552-04:002014-03-21T12:36:06.552-04:00I agree with Betty, your family will appreciate al...I agree with Betty, your family will appreciate all that you have written. My brother and I are researching our family.There is so much that we do not know about them. As for aging the best thing I have discovered is that "All things do pass" as bad as things can seem,I know it will get better! I do not hear, see or remember things like when I was younger,but as a good friend of mine always says,it beats the alternative!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049996909414471501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-81501191973377617142014-03-21T10:26:30.884-04:002014-03-21T10:26:30.884-04:00You know, Jack, the family might not be reading t...You know, Jack, the family might not be reading the words you are writing now, but they will read them later and by having taken the time to chronicle events like you are doing, they will appreciate it then (hopefull years from now) more than they might appreciate it now, if you get what I'm trying to say. I know my mom shared a lot about her growing up years and early marriage years, etc., and I remember a lot of what she said, but she never wrote them down and I have some written down, but not all and that pesky age of mine is making me forget things (which I should probably write down everything I know before I forget). So my point I'm making is they will appreciate it down the road and your grandkids too will appreciate it!<br /><br />I find with aging its those pesky things of going into a room and not remembering why you did or seeing the word in your mind but not being able to get it out of your mouth, LOL. And of course the physical aging on the body; I can't run like I used to and getting up from the floor is a challenge these days :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
