We often hear people say that “hindsight is 20/20”, but writing this summary in December 2019 reinforces our experience that the mind is the first to go. While we are experiencing some minor aches and pains that come with approaching 60, those are understandable given what our body’s do for us over the decades. What’s harder to embrace are the “senior” moments:
Getting up to walk downstairs, then after arriving forgetting why we went down.
Having a thought in the middle of a conversation, then forgetting what I wanted to say when it’s my turn to speak.
Deciding not to write something down because it’s too important to forget, then being unable to recall what was so important.
Life is good, but it’s even better when we stay in the moment. Requiring a little extra time or developing a technique to recall its milestones are minor inconveniences while enjoying our journey (as long as I remember to take it a little bit easier during my workouts).
