'TIRED' Is In The BODY Of The Beholder!

     In three minutes, at 11:30 AM, I will have been awake for 9 hours; Actually, not just awake, but, to and from Boston's Logan Airport, and, back to East G., to enjoy a breakfast of immense proportion! Truth be told, it feels as if I've 'lived' an entire day, in these, several, hours. Is it Monday, yet? My life, in general, is fairly, busy, most, especially, of late; However, it is, typically, pretty, routine. Today's, little, 'outing' has 'shaken things up' a bit, along with the fact, that, I enjoyed 'social-events', both, Friday and Saturday evenings, each, fairly 'low-key', but, 'outside of the norm'. I am POOPED! It's, very, 'interesting', to say the least, how, things have changed, over the years, insofar as how I 'handle' my energy, and, how, expending it impacts my body. Decades ago, I could go days without adequate sleep, and, not, realize the side-effects. I could, actually, go to a job, on NO sleep, at all, and, a shower, and, function highly. I'm not suggesting that this was a GOOD thing. I'm, simply, remarking on how things are, so, different. Aging is a fascinating-process, in and of itself, never mind adding to it the 'challenges' of a physical-disorder. Everything is relative, that's for sure, and, how I am, today, and, what my ol' bod is capable of, is a totally, 'different-animal', than once upon a time; It is my NEW-normal, and, I'm OK with it. It's ALL good, as is said! A long time-ago, I discovered one of life's 'secrets'; this, being, that in order to be happy, one, MUST, accept what life is handing out, at any given time. It's not always, easy, and, most, times, takes, some, 'processing', in order for acceptance to be achieved. Yet, this is what MUST occur, in order to be a 'happy-camper'; and, I AM...a VERY, TIRED, 'happy-camper', but, one, just the same, indeed! Just Sayin'...
