Things change constantly through life. It’s something we are used to, so much so that we hardly notice it. We have learned to adapt to changes without missing a step, because in most cases the changes seem insignificant. But as we get older the changes are more noticeable. Things we did routinely when we were younger are more difficult now and our window of activity has decreased.
When we were young we were in constant motion never wanting to slow down, but now we welcome those moments to kick back and relax. In the past our window of activity seemed endless, but it has diminished to a much smaller segment of our day, sometimes requiring a nap to regenerate our energy level.
Our desire to be involved is still present, although it’s more subdued, sometimes just the enjoyment of watching others, brings the same joy as participation once did. Just because Papa can’t run like he used to, doesn’t mean his mind isn’t imagining running right next to you.
So when you see someone lagging behind, know that once they were leading the charge. “Just Saying . . .”
