In no particular order and for no
particular reason (well other than vacation contemplation).
10.
The things that seemed to physically
hurt you as a kid just really don't seem to hurt nearly as much any
more. Shot in the arm? No big deal. Blood work? Ditto. Dental
fillings? Bring'm on.
9.
Things that never physically hurt
before hurt now. My left foot for example. Arthritis. My foot
sometimes feels like there is sand in some of the joints. Now I have
to take horse pills to “lubricate” my joints. It's a pain in
my...well...foot.
8.
You realize that your parents actually
were right about some things.
7.
You begin to listen to music that your
parents liked and discover that it's not all that bad. Especially
given the state of popular music today.
6.
You have to take medication to get your body to do things your body used to do all the time as a kid. Easily.
5.
You look forward to quiet evenings
instead of dreading them.
4.
You actually take pride in the
organized nature of your clothes drawers.
3.
You move beyond the want or desire to
care about the drama around you. For me, I've just learned to smile
through it all.
2.
You see just how simpler life was when
you were a kid and realize just how you were lucky to be born in a
previous era. Case in point: Had the Internet existed in 1976 I
probably would never have left the house.
1.
You start to see some of the little
details in the world around you that, in years past, you would have
just sped by.
