Looking Back Longingly

Things I miss (in no particular order):

My waist

Energy

The teacher's lounge - the camaraderie, fun, and conversation

Playing board games with family and friends

Being young and cute

Good health

Painless back

Stamina

Wearing heels and dresses 

Well, this is getting depressing, so I'll stop now.  This took a turn I wasn't expecting.  A lot of getting old sucks, though.  I realize I can do something about some of the things on this list and will work on that.  Betty White and my mother are amazing.  My mother does everything right and has been blessed with good health as a result of good habits and activity.  She's 91 and still drives where she feels comfortable, goes out and about, does housework and cooks, and keeps up with what's going on.  I have good genes but haven't taken good care of them.  Sometimes I wish I could rewind and have a do-over.  Enjoy it all while you have it, y'all!
