Tomorrow Will Be Different

 Getting football-ready this morning when I heard an injured athlete say "I am starting to feel like myself again."

It is a simple statement, easy to understand, unless your age falls into the elderly bracket.

I wouldn't even know what "I am starting to feel like myself" means. I have no yardstick - nothing to measure against. As my new favorite t-shirt says - "Everything hurts and I'm going to die."

There are no pain-free days. There is no perfect comfort level.

I guess if I wake up in the morning and manage to stand without falling and walk without staggering, that's good enough. Good enough for today.

Tomorrow will be different.

  1. You managed to put into words what the elderly mission statement is...
