Closing in on 60 so that middle age thing is no longer in the rear view mirror.

pain and inconsistent bodily functions are just annoyances when one isn’t punching the clock, lowering expectations goes a long way for peace of mind.

Naps are always good.

I have an agonizing advantage for my viewpoint about aging. 

My dog is 19 years old.  He has Arthritis in both knees and his back is failing him.  He sometimes slowly drops his butt to the ground and I have to help him lift it up again.  

He remains stoic in his desire to stay with me.  He goes potty outside every couple of hours and I carry him in and out.  I feel so much kinship with him.  We share so much in common infirmities between us, I believe I know what he feels and when he licks me I think he feels the same.  I think he thanks me for helping him.

He is much older than I am geriatrically, and he is giving me a difficult example to follow of how to deal with advanced age.

I dread losing him after all these years, but he shows me the strength it takes to go gracefully.  

It's late and I have held him for a while so I guess I'm just rambling.  I'll miss him so.
