The year 2016 started out with a great deal of promise. Before we lament, we must still be thankful for all that happened last year.
After all, we were blessed with our family members, some economic gains and as our elders always say, a reasonable portion of health and strength.
Regarding that last part about a reasonable portion of health and strength, when I was younger, I never really took my health seriously. Maybe I thought I’d always be able to run, to jump and to be physically fit.
Well as Lee Corso of the ESPN Game Day Show always says, “Not so fast my friends.” It appears as though one of my adversaries has finally caught up with me.
I thought that I could allude him, possibly hide from him. Maybe I thought I could talk my way out of his clutches but it didn’t work. In fact, nothing I tried worked. You are probably wondering who has been chasing me.
Well, if you are a baby boomer like me, he has been chasing you too. His name is Father Time.
This guy is relentless in his pursuit of us. For example, I volunteer at a local school and there are some stairs for me to climb before I reach my classroom.
