The Discomfiture of Age

I can anticipate the time --- perhaps not too long from this date --- when just dragging oneself out of bed will be a chore almost too difficult to take on.  That day will feature: tiredness, aches and pains, and a general malaise perhaps related to having no fixed plans, no goals, no focus.

Now mind you, I am not anticipating such times with any hint of acceptance or pleasure. I am just acknowledging what I have seen in others, and what I anticipate in everyone at some time in their own journey. It is not a "sin" to just feel worn out, or used up, or perhaps just unmotivated. It is however a sincere reality in all those who have reached that time -- when life is more implausible than enjoyable.
