Hard the know the first signs, but getting old is very difficult. I feel that you spend the first half of your life finding the things and people that make you happy, and you love, only to spend the last part of your life having to give all of them up. Love your kids? Well they will grow up and leave, as they should, leaving a hole in your heart. Like alcohol, well you soon will have to give that up. Sweet food will make you diabetic, and that will have to go. Like to exercise? Soon that will be restrained, and so on. People and animals you love, die. You have more and more physical restrictions, and less and less energy. And more and more aches and pains. I guess the only thing good about it is that you aren’t dead anyway. Its no wonder old people can get so cranky, and for so many depression is a way of life. And it definitely drives them into church and back to God, What else is there? I don’t know really what to think about it all. The only answer that occurs to me is that maybe by losing all the things that make this life good, it makes it easier when it is time to leave and die. That much I really believe is true. I have seen too many old people who are just done, and ready to go. So the only advice I can pass on is enjoy your life and the people in it, while you still can.
