getting old [continuation]

Except getting old graciously  it feels nice when kids call u Ajji.  There is a age for doing anything do what suits u n give u joy  no matter if it seems odd to others Do not brood n feel sorry if ur kin n friends do not have time for u Understand that they/all have their own lives to run          Never wallow in self pity  by imagining problems or would be problems even though they r not there Live ur life at your pace U do not have to compete with anyone Never think of"what others would say" 
Be happy n find peace within yourself

Keep yourself occupied with anything u fancy  reading cleaning embroidery usic Computer & the net
one can spend hours with this very effectively & satisfactorily

It is never too late to learn anything new

join some club around you like the Rotary club Ladies club Book club hobby club Local Library  One will meet many people & also learn abt other things to do 

keeping oneself occupied  is very important to keep mentally/physically  healthy N happy  

On Getting Old

On Getting old

yes aging has taught some positive & negative things  

It took me real long that i am getting  old  It dawned on me real slow motion things that i could do in a jiffy took longer & longer& LOOOOONGER First time i realised that i am slowing down due to aging 

My  mind mentally I am   still in the second decade but physically i have passed seven and a half!!  I still am not able to get used to this idea but slowly learning  to adjust my age & physical fitness 

Now have to take steps slowly watching each foot forward to make sure I do not fall Also realising that I am bit Unsteady in Balancing my self as i tend to fall more often Nothing serious but i have to be careful  Even if i go out i have to make a effort to catch up with who ever i am with Mostly the person understands & try to keep my pace That's what good friends are  for  also i notice any strangers on the street is always willing to help with a kind hand when needed  When i look back I have done this to many elderly when i was younger Feel that History is repeating I realise that good deeds done by one comes back sometimes double fold

Simple things i used to do before takes longer  now sometimes it comes as a shock to me as i was a very active person  almost putting in 48 hrs into the 24 hrs of the day No not anymore Now irealise that i cant put in even  24 hrs or less each day Old habits die hard   i thought But know they just shrivel up without even realising  then one says Ok that's it & go along  doing ones best Many times do not feel happy about bit but then there is no choice also i feel the it is easier way out to give up somethings & go on doing what one ncan better

about food now there is no thing like Oh i want this or that well u eat to sustain sometimes rarely there is a urge to eat something & it is nice to oblige oneself  & feel happy about it 

when i go out i feel so tired as if i have done so much load of  work  Simple  task like going  to the bank shopping for groceries vegetables seems like WORK before it was relaxing  I also have developed the habit  of postponing  anything that does not need IMMEDIATE attention is shelved for 'some other time' without any remorse 

Before i never left todays work for tomorrow but now it seems ok N no guilt about it

My watching TV is also gone diown  as i find things which used to interest me now does not do so any more Watch only a 2-3 serials I prefer News Channels now

Loneliness is the other factor but i have got used to it now My own company with sweety N tinku is good enougg & satisfying

I used  to crave for someone to call but not anymore I   know all have their own works of getting along with their own lives so no hard feelings or sadness  It is part  of life & growing older also one feels forgotten but again the youngsters have their own  life No place for anyone in the shadows

I am grateful that  am on my own two feet & do not have to depend on anyone financially I shudder to thing all those who are not  lucky as me  to them  life must really be hard &pathetic But i feel it must have been so for them most of the life so ui suppose it is ok for them     I feel so only from my perspective

As in the Film Bhagban My favourite all will have to go thru this phase of life for better or  worse

 A couple of years ago I had to undergo a major Surgery
While on the Table for the operation the anesthetic told me you will sleep now & when you wake up all will be over .I told myself ''will I wake up?'that was the BIG question Though I am a doctor myself & many patients had to bear the knife in my hand Now I realized similar thought's must have gone through their minds too . 
Finally I heard a distance words -sounding like 'she is awake'I was still in the twilight world & my mind was trying to decide 'which world?'then I head the sweetest words 'MUMMY MUMMY' from my daughter . By this awakening I realized that the world/Life is really beautiful & I am one of the lucky ones 
Not until you realize that Life is really beautiful will you really start to live. Better late than never!
Past years full of work duty as a mother wife  doctor  & housewife-many times without any help had made me try to squeeze 48 hrs in to the normal 24 hrs of the day  Not any more 
I have now started celebrating  each year of my birth as a lovely gift & bonus from Above. I now appreciate the simple beauty of  nature ,rain sunshine smell of the earth when the first rain strikes   kids enjoying the puddles during the rainy season My pets giving me immense love trust & companionship my daily walks enjoying the weather nature & early morning walkers like me
Live Life fullest -as it is said that it is not the years in your  life But the LIFE in your years that matter
I would like to share with you one of my personal theory on dreams  good /bad/horrifying dramatic & so on When we wake up thankfully we are in our own beds& very thankful for this and relief many times
My theory is that Our Life is a long DREAM & when we finally wake up it will be in our own home-where /how/when is anybody's guess  I like to ''spin a yarn'' many times imagining how it will be  who will be there etc
Any guesses?? May be we all can spin a yarn for time pass
