I don't seem to be adventurous anymore
Today was a zoo day. But I opted not to go because the forecast called for cold and up to 4 inches of snow.
I did not want to be on the tollway, in the middle of nowhere, with blowing snow and cold temps in a possibly disabled car......so I called and said I was not going.
20 years ago I would have made the trip.
I once was younger and a little more daring.
There are other signs of aging creating a more cautious me.
I always wear a bike helmet when riding.
I don't do any repair involving electricity.
I sniff the outdated milk before drinking it.
I make sure the garage door is up before starting my car.
I look both ways pulling out of the driveway.
I cross with the walk signal and at a corner, usually.
I wash sharp knives separate from the other dishes so I don't have to put them in the water with other stuff. I often forget they are there and darn near stab myself when I feel around the bottom of the soapy water.
I don't take candy from strangers, unless they are Russian females looking for information on how to vote in our elections.
I read directions on medications.
I avoid large crowds, unless it is the Christmas market in Chicago or a baseball game or any other event that is a fun thing to attend.
I don't know if all of the changes are worth it.....am I still me? And if not, who am I?
Time will tell. Maybe.
