My body's changing, and bless its heart, I'm trying to keep up!

Well hello ladies,

I wanted to hop on here and just say a little something about getting older. My goodness, it seems like one day I was twenty five and the next I was fifty five. I was at the Piggly Wiggly last Tuesday, just trying to find a good deal on some chicken thighs, and I swear I nearly fell over trying to reach the top shelf. My knees just ain't what they used to be, and my back, well, that's a whole other story.

I used to run around with the kids and never even think about it. Now, after a long day of chasing after my grandbabies, all I want to do is sit down with a sweet tea and put my feet up. Church on Sunday morning, I'm just trying to make it through the hymns without needing a nap. I've been trying to walk more, just around the neighborhood, but some days it feels like a marathon.

What kind of things are y'all doing to keep your energy up and your bodies moving? Any little tricks or tips from my fellow sisters?

Bless your hearts,
White woman
