AND IT WAS AT THAT AGE

My hands ache a little in the morning, or after I've worked on the computer. My foot doesn't hold up as well on a long walk, making me go back to my bike and discover an old friend. The occasional shoulder ache or simply a sleepless night. But every age brings with it a bag of new pleasures as well. And it was at this age I discovered I love a full moon. Eating chocolate with an orange and a glass of red wine is wonderful. Tea with friends is the meaning of life. Smells on my walks can take my breath away. And looking at children play transports me to a better place. As my body changes, my heart grows.
