It is a darn shame that vim and vigor is wasted on the young. I can't believe I just wrote that. I used to hate it when some old fart would say it. But, you know, it is kind of true. When you are young, you think you will always have a bounty of energy and ambition. You don't think about growing older and dealing with all the aches and pains that come with age. But that IS a really good thing. It's just by the time you realize you won't always be 18 years old it's too late to stop and appreciate your youth because it is gone. I still see myself as this young thing in High School, ready and willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish lifes goals. And then I go to do something that I use to do and my body suddenly develops a mind of it's own. It just won't co-operate with what my mind wants to do. It goes all spastic on me. My back starts to ache, my knees won't bend right and my legs are wanting to know what in the world I am trying to do. So, I give in to my bodies complaints. Now, that is IS NOT a good thing. If I were any kind of person at all, the minute my body started to complain I would begin a really good exercise program. I would tell my body that time wasn't going to slow me down. I would show it a thing or two. Oh, wait, there I go again thinking I'm that young thing in High School. I think what I need to do is go take a really good nap and those thoughts of an exercise program will be gone by the time I wake up.

Hey you've lived a good life and before you know it you will be living in my parents basement wondering who the bald old man is sitting next to you (which will be grandpa of course) dont forget your turning 60 this December.
You don't have a grey hair on your head! You are not old! Don't listen to Brady. Besides, sixty is the new 40 or something like that.
Exercise really would help. It is amazing how just walking a mile or two everyday would help you feel like you have more energy. Give it a try and see if it works :)
