From someone that wanted to be young forever, I am sure not doing a good job.  Sure, my attitude is that of a person thirty years my junior, but if you take a look on the outside, you’ll notice one thing:

I look old.

It could be the wrinkles or the grey hair that is on my head, or how I walk just a lot slower than most people, but you can tell I am not a spring chicken any longer.  Even though I do exercise and eat properly, father time is still creeping up on me.

My latest frustrations with my youth-challenged body is that my hearing has started to go.  So, I have been trying out some hearing aids in an attempt to find one that works well for me.  Right now I am using a Unitron hearing aid, and it is nice to hear the world again.

Sometimes I wonder if I squandered my youth working and saving for this time in my life, and now that I am less mobile than ever, I can’t enjoy those things that I had always dreamed of.  Don’t get me wrong, I do what I can, but some things like my dreams of skydiving are never going to be realized because of my health conditions.

I wish that someone would have told me that being old was going to be frustrating.  I hate that what I expect that I can do and what I can do are two different things.  I miss being young.
