Musings: Growing up, growing old...

26-Nov'18

Growing up/old never seemed a daunting prospect. Believe some perspective do take requisite life stage bracket, to age to perfection like Scotch :)

Quite few retorts from parents ricocheted from the past to make some sense now that i reflect - yes, they registered then & are parked to be revisited. Very simple remarks(e.g it takes a lot for a women to give birth - now i've realize only 5% of it with the bodily compromises, hair loss, psychological etc.) seem to unfold & dawn in profound ways

Anyway few topics particularly have pondered upon:

Money: This seems a great denominator. As you age, your body isn't in best shape but then with money you buy nicer clothes such that some total doesn't look all that glaring

Health: Howsoever hard you try exercise, pushing through becomes difficult. Even if you push through enough it gym hardly lacks the aesthetics of youth carved by nature

Relevance: Particularly at senior-citizen age bracket. Being for most parts the leader of household the adjustment take time. One can consciously create those opportunities that they feel integrated/important but isn't a strain on diminishing faculties
