IF MY BODY WERE A CAR




If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking
about trading it in for a newer model.

I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my
paint job is getting a little dull, but that's not the worst of it.

My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to
see things up close.

My traction is not as graceful as it once was.

I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the
best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.
It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.

My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

But here's the worst of it --
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter.....either my
radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

Very funny...had a good chuckle over that one and of course it got me to thinking about aging and what happens to our bodies...well, I'd like to think mine is soft and comfy, like an old chair and that my grand kids want to snuggle up and be hugged, of course they're getting older and soon wont want to have anything to do with that...sigh.....Dianne
