wasting time.

Abigail Crabby · 08-18-2011, 04:34 AM

I thought about it some more......

There are some things I'm too old for.

Drama.

The all about me people.

People who only see what's in it for them.

Broken promises

I guess all the above = Drama

StillettoDoll · 08-18-2011, 05:08 AM

Smoking cigarettes which I just quit, learning ballet, mini shirts and short shorts, having children, junk food,
gymnastics .

JustJo · 08-18-2011, 07:38 AM

A few things....

reading the small print without my glasses
hearing anything in spaces with lots of background noise, competing voices, or if you're just standing behind me
waitressing, bartending or anything else that involves long hours on my feet
jobs without vacations and benefits

To parent to a full grown adult. I do not mean one of my own full grown adult children, that is different. Well, done differently, now.

For an instant relationship after three dates.

To not put myself first in a healthy, functional way always. I am surprised at how many do not do so, including me, before realizing it is the only way to be happy. I am not espousing selfish, dysfunctional response, I am saying self must be an important part of ANY relationship. Thank goodness for AlAnon.

As someone pointed out.... I'm too OLD for Sugar!! I only drink sugarless Kool-aid... *grin*

Venus007 · 08-19-2011, 06:43 PM

Ennui
Body shame
Failing to suck the marrow

Contact sports. I do not think my nose could take another breaking or another deviated septum surgery.

I am learning that I can no longer move furniture or lift appliances or do most kinds of tough work like I used to without "feeling the burn " for days. My muscles seem to produce too much of that "after exercise " acid that my old, Lupus ridden body can't process and flush out correctly. I really miss my younger, VERY ACTIVE, VERY STRONG, able years and body. I miss muscles that work and kidneys that process toxins correctly. BUT.... none of what I feel today can take away my feeling of accomplishment and contentment from yesterday. I feel good emotionally even if the old body can no longer keep up.
