It's early Wednesday morning after a lazy day of recovery from working an overnight shift at the shelter. I slept well even after dozing off during the afternoon and evening yesterday. The recovery was more difficult than I remember it being in the past. I don't know if it's just been too long or if it's a matter of getting old. It might be both.
Maybe aging gracefully is simply a matter of recognizing that as things become more difficult you have to adjust differently or stop doing them. I'm going to have to see how that plays out in the coming months. For today, I'm just going to be grateful to be.
It looks like this may be the last 50 (10c) degree day for a few weeks, so even though it will be overcast and might rain I am going to enjoy it. If the rain isn't blowing in onto the deck, I'll be enjoying a cigar and maybe I'll switch it up to a nice warm mug of Mexican coffee (coffee with chocolate, cinnamon, cream, a little Mexican vanilla, and tequila).
Damn, that sounds good! Right now I'm thinking an Oliva Hellion cigar would be a perfect pairing.
One of the benefits of getting older is having another day to enjoy the simple things of life, and face it -- we're all getting older.
I hope you take a moment to be thankful and to enjoy being a day older, and perhaps a little wiser.
John
