Miss my body!

What’s something you miss from the old days?

There are plenty of things I miss from the old days, and a few I’m happy to leave there. But what I miss most is being able to run and play all day without pain.

I was a tomboy, always outside riding, running, shooting hoops, or finding something to do. I didn’t think about whether my body could keep up. It just did. I miss that freedom, and the strong, capable body that came with all that activity.

These days, my knees pop and creak, and my back screams bloody murder over things I once did without a second thought. Apparently, bending down now requires a plan for getting back up.

Oh, for the days when I could wear myself out having fun instead of wondering which part of me would complain tomorrow.
