Absolutely agree with your assessment re: the pros and cons side of ageing. There's a wealth of good stuff such as being quick witted, sharp and acerbic enough to burn all in range knowing that you are likely right as opposed to the smart-ass of our youth who always 'thought' he was right.
That is of absolutely no utility on a cold morning when the bones are 'feelin' it' though and those weak points are suffering. I have always worn glasses due to double astigmatisms and lovelovelove the prescription sunglasses, they were a great choice, but as you say, they are not cheap. I struggle even with them sometimes but have noticed a blurring of my vision when my diet and lifestyle is not A1.
I researched this after opticians and Dr's repeatedly told me it is a natural part of ageing and found it can be due to slightly volatile blood sugar levels as like you I too am diabetic.
Don't be too hard on the 'old' G-dog, he ain't doing too bad at all, sharp. erudite, in shape, in fact, while there's just us here, be honest... Sometimes you look at some of the other 50 year old dudes and think Wow! Life's been tough on 'that dude', right?
C'mon, don't pretend it's just me! 😂
past dumbassery
We all have this trait in common, we live and learn man! Wishing you and Faith a great new week 😎👍
I didn't know you're diabetic. I'm type-2 and take some pills...I don't inject anymore. Got it at the age of 39 and after I found out I became quite healthy and realised how bad I was actually feeling. I have a good diet and exercise a lot so it's all good. I hope you're managing it well also.
I do this at times, but never out loud. I take good care of myself, don't drink to excess or smoke at all, never took drugs, literally never other that prescription medication, and generally look after myself. The alternative doesn't seem so smart.
