I never thought it would be like this:
I never thought I would consider myself a bona fide athlete in my 70’s.
I never thought I would be preening in a mirror.
I never thought I could put on so much muscle at this age. Or any age.
I never thought I would be looking for that “tighter” shirt when going out.
I never thought I could shame my twenty year old self with my athletic abilities.
I never thought I could go years without a cold, a flu, a stomach bug, a headache or a just a physically “off” day.
I never thought I could run five miles every night and enjoy every step.
I never thought I would enjoy an ache-less, painless, supple existence.
I never thought I could sleep without a narcotic in my system.
I never thought I would have such boundless energy.
I never thought I could be happy with an unaltered consciousness.
I never thought I could come so close to the edge and come back so strong.
I never thought I might live forever….today… I wouldn’t rule it out. 🙂
