All Resistance is Futile

  It happens to all of us, and on that day when you recognize that it has happened to you, I can tell you that you will not like it! On that day, you will realize that you have become older then you are young?
 Oh you'll fight it of course, and you'll deny it even to yourself. You will fight it both physically and emotionally for as long as possible, but in the end, time will win! Time moves forward like a mighty glacier, picking up and pushing aside all that stands in its way! You will not like it, and you will rail against it, but resistance is futile.
  I suspect that I am older then many of you, and as such, I have entered a period in my life that I am ill prepared for. Truthfully, I'm amazed that I have made it this far? Though I say it as a joke, it is true, that if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself? Sadly, we have reached the point, that whenever I talk with old friends, inevitably the conversations will turn to doctors, and who is seeing who for what? I hate that! The same group of people who once talked about tearing the roof off the sucka, now says things like, How did your procedure go Harold, and its good to see you Maude, you sure are looking better.
  But time waits for no man, and time marches on and all that, so I guess that all we can do is to make the best of it? Boy, this turned out to be a depressing little piece, Sorry about that! Now you will hear things like, Growing old in style? You can only do that if you have the money for it, because you need money to have style! Or how about this one, You are only as old as you feel? Is that also true on the days when you feel 20 years older then you are? The real key for all this, is to keep your mind as sharp as you can for as long as you can, because when your mind is sharp, then your spirit does well.
