Let’s get one thing straight: aging isn’t for wimps.
But Mark Twain had it right — if you don’t mind it, it really doesn’t matter.
Your joints might sound like bubble wrap, your favorite TV shows now air during daylight hours, and your calendar is filled with things like “Eye Doctor” and “Pickleball”… but guess what?
You’re still here. You’re still kicking. And you still know how to laugh about it.
🧘♀️ When Gravity Won’t Let Go… but Neither Will I
Last week I dropped something on the floor and had a real come-to-Jesus moment.
Did I need that thing enough to bend over and pick it up?
After five seconds of deep reflection (and a brief negotiation with my knees), I used Ragnar’s toy tongs to retrieve it.
A win is a win.
Aging isn’t about limitations — it’s about strategy.
💡 It’s All About Mindset… and Humor
Sure, the mirror shows a few more laugh lines (let’s call them “plot twists”), and technology thinks I should be using a jitterbug flip phone…
But if you walk into every day like you’re still the boss — guess what? You are.
Twain didn’t say you wouldn’t notice aging — he said not to mind it. There’s a difference.
