Confessions of a 46 year old sinner

Ever since I hit 40 I have struggled with the rapid deterioration of so many aspects of my being. My eyesight for instance! I cannot read a thing without glasses now.. And my once acute sense of memory has been hijacked and in it's place is a somewhat fuzzy, distracted brain that cannot seem to remember the simple much less the lists it used to hold.I am needing to find ways to compensate for my lack of youthful sharpness!! Glasses in every room... {i think they are actually making the print on bottles smaller now}...and whoever thought it was a good idea to print directions in pastel colors on a white background in a 2pt font?
I am comforted by a space in my home that I have claimed for my own now and am trying to use to grasp hold of all of those things that are so easily forgotten or lost.I have always been a relatively organized person but desperate times call for desperate measures and now I need a system to help me recall my organizational system! This is still not a guarantee that I won't find my car keys in the freezer [or some other odd location] occasionally.
Did I also mention that my post menopausal body is not quite the same either! Metabolic Syndrome is what my Doctor calls it.I can't eat much of anything without it adhering to my mid section. The cure..no sugar, no refined foods and lots of exercise ...something I have never had a great affection for!!!!
To the untrained eye it might seem that I am quite the whiner [and while these maladies are less than palatable at times] I know there is so much life left to enjoy and savor that I must dig down deep and find the motivation to honor the one that created me and do the things necessary to ensure that this temple will continue to not only press on but to thrive!I have a workout from FITTV saved on my DVR right now and if all goes well I will view it [use it] tomorrow! assuming I can find my glasses to operate the remote control.

In any case, there is one thing I know for sure and that is that I can do nothing apart from Christ who strengthens me! And I'm gonna need a whole lot of His strength! And that's a good place to be!!
