My main problem is in my late 50s, I still try/ want to continue to do the same things I did in my teens and 20's. Reality is starting to kick in that its just not possible anymore. Well, not that its not possible, just that now there are consequences. My body sure doesn't have that short recovery time that it used to. I'm a lot more subconsciously cautious about not doing possibly harmful stuff. Fear I was somewhat fearless only a few years ago. Other thing to is, I sometimes look silly or foolish trying to do those things but, I want to keep doing things that I greatly enjoy.

While that reality is there, the other part of me sometimes gets a little sad and depressed. Yeah, I guess that I have a hard time accepting that I am going to be an "old man" eventually and there is nothing I can do about it.

Like my favorite singer sings... Growing old but not up....
