this morning #2103.

this morning, getting younger obviously wasn’t achievable. getting older wasn’t getting any easier. she felt it in her lower back. in her knees. didn’t matter how much yoga she did or how much expensive herbal tea she consumed. the ache loomed. sure. the tea calmed her nerves a tad but what good is that when aging is a constant concern? her mom made it all the way to 88. was mom living with a similar amount of pain the entire time but just never complained? it’s likely but it’s way too late to ask her now. wondered how much worse it was going to get for her. she still had a ways to go to 88 but now that she was in her sixth decade, it was hard to imagine the state of her body taking a turn for the better.
