| One chicken to another, "And how is your life going?" |
All spring
chickens get
old. Proof of
the pudding,
here are 2 of
the baby
chicks that
I got in
April.
It seems like
lately all
I hear is,
"You ain't
no spring
chicken
anymore."
All I want to say is, "Screw you. Don't you think I have mirrors.
I can see that."
As a dancer most of my life, it saddens me even more to watch
my head jut forward as my shoulders and back become rounded.
And the very, very worst thing happening to this "has-been spring
chicken" is that when I try very hard to straighten up, I
absolutely can't. I am frozen in a hideous position that is 2 inches
shorter than my former self. What is this sucky old age that is
touted to be "the golden years." Blaat....
I should have asked what you want first, the good news or the bad
news but I just gave you the bad news first. Rejoice....... there is
good news. I have discovered that young people can be old inside
and old people young, depending on how much one uses the short
muscles that support the large ones. People go to a gym every
day and work on the same large muscles without ever giving a
thought to what supports those hunkers.
To wonderful new technology: I hate you because you rattle my
brain, but I also love you because you transport me miles
from home where I can inject knowledge into my shrunken
brain cells.
I've been taking exercise lessons by Skype from a wonderful
gal who had cured herself of this old age malady when she was
very young and for 30 years she has helped others regain the
height they lost and for instance, are able to clip their own
toe nails again. (You have to be where I was, to fully appreciate
what this toe-nail thing means.....Ha)
The exercises are totally different from the ones you would
do in a gym and she keeps adjusting a program that is uniquely
designed to strengthen each person's core. My friend,
Marilyn has been doing this a year and has already gained back
the 2 inches she's shrunk. I have a long way to go but joy
of joys and hallelujah, I can again balance on one leg, yoga style, without a
wobble. That alone is back to spring for this old chicken. LOL
How's your springy chicken do'n?

PS..I don't understand computers at all. I first published this post
and it was lined up the way I wanted it and after a day it took off
on it's own and ended up all crazy. I don't know how to change
it without doing the whole thing over. Sorry...technology and age.
