I am doing my spring-fall cleaning and have come to a realization that I am not the woman that I used to be! At one time, I considered myself the engine that drove the train--like superman--able to jump tall buildings, faster than a speeding bullet, invincible. However, I can no longer fool myself. I am old, weak---lazy?? I can't seem to maintain the same level of performance that I once achieved. Boo Hoo! I have washed the walls in two bedrooms and a bathroom, have cleaned all woodwork and all decorations adorning my walls. I have mopped the floors of all said room, washed curtains and dusted. All is smelly good and looking very tidy! If I can continue this pace, I may be finished in time to begin my spring cleaning! Oh woe is me! Of course, my mirror has tried to tell me this wicked truth, but since I have covered all of the mirrors in the house with black drapery, I have lulled myself into a false sense of youth and vigor! Reality has hit hard on this Southern Illinois hill.

Angie, it seems as if you're doing more work than enough!! AND, by the way, where are you? I keep coming back... when I log in and you've been gone for a very, very long time!
What a cake!
Just keep on keepin' on girl. It wouldn't hurt to lower your standards just a bit.
Join the club.
You'll always be a super hero to me, Angie.
It is a rude awakening, isn't it, when we realize that we really CAN NO LONGER leap buildings in a single bound.
Nothing wrong with moving slower, taking your time. I'm just grateful to be moving forward!
sometimes moving slower is a really a blessing- allows you to take time to notice the small things otherwise overlooked
yep you can do anything you put your mind and body too!
You're just wiser?
I understand perfectly. I used to clean my whole house in a few hours. Now.... well it just never gets cleaned all at once.
I second Kristilyn's comment below!
LOL I know the feeling but i still believe age is just a number!!! You can't let that dictate your life.
You're not old, just slowing down
you are as young as you feel girl so keep at it!!!
