TEN THINGS I DON’T LIKE ABOUT TURNING 70

1. Aches and pains.
2. Memory recall.
3. Slowing down.
4. Ditto, the lovey-dovey.
5. And the surviving strands are getting narrower and narrower, almost like spider-weave now.
6. Realizing how often I have – and still do – misread social cues, unintentionally hurt others, blown opportunities. I’ll even admit to some serious regrets now.
7. All the friendships I’ve lost along the way, moving from job to job and town to town.
8. Too much sensitivity to hot and cold.
9. Won’t ever hike the Appalachian Trail at this point. Or other similar heights.
10. Realize what a gap exists between me and those 50 years younger. It’s not just the technology stuff, either.
