Age | The Daily Post
The Aging process is not for sissies. Everyone ages at a different rate. I never smoked and am only a social drinker. As many of you know I was in the U.S. Army for four years from November 1977 to November 1981. Then I was at my Peak Performance. I was in excellent physical condition. Actually from birth to age 48 my health was outstanding. I had amazing energy, could exercise without any problems, and received great doctor reports. The worst problems I had were some acne and menstrual cramps.
Then when I was 49 I had a mild stroke. Much of the vision in my left eye is gone. Pain is my constant companion. My digestive system has not worked properly in a long time. No more running up and down steps. The latest health challenges is I reach for things with my right hand and my entire right arm ignores me as well as now I have headaches almost every day. Food allergies.
Once I hit 50 Mr. Arthur Itis aka arthritis has been a faithful boyfriend. More any real life guys. Of course dating hits the skids after 50. Romance is only a distant dream kinda like being healthy. However at my age a bed equals sleep. I’m tired 24/7/365. Mostly I blame menopause and genetics for my health issues.
People tell me I look good for my age or they look at me in disbelief when I tell them I will be 59 Feb. 2018. So even though my insides are falling apart my outside looks great!
Check out these photos from my younger and better days! Proud to be a Baby Boomer!
Now here is what I currently look like. Feel like crap but still looking good. Oh yeah some light makeup helps.

You look great. Lovw the picturs especially your childhood one, the black and white pic third last row first pic. 🙂
Thanks. The Black & White pictures are my Baby Pictures from 1959. I was one cute kid!! LOL!! 🙂 😀 ❤
You were. And the look on your face is hillarious 😆
Thanks again. Two of the B&W are from the 1960s when I was a toddler. The Baby photo with Shock Face is my reaction to the little Lamb toy my parents brought me back from when they went to Atlantic City (pre-casinos). My grandparents were taking care of me.
Awww. So thats your reaction to little lamb toy. Cute and funny ❤
Beautiful story and beautiful pictures

So Glad you enjoyed my blog post. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh my, we’re almost the same age – I’m a month older. And age definitely presents some challenges
Thanks. Yes, challenges I can do without. If only I could turn back the hands of time to regain my 22 year old body.
You make the world a prettier, better place, Deborah. Thank you for setting an excellent example with all your service!
Thanks. Now if only I could stay in bed today instead of going to work. I’m exhausted.
Prayers for your strength and peace. ❤
Thanks.
From your lips to God’s ears.
Amen. ❤
