* Is This a Sign of Old Age?

—

, , ,

I was taking the usual drive to my Friday yoga class in Media PA this morning, when I encountered something interesting coming towards me on the road.

It was a magnificent specimen, but it definitely wasn’t a sad encounter this time.

It looked something like this:

man running

 

I said out loud “Thank you God!” and chuckled all the way to the studio.

Is mindful lusting a sign of old age?…

 

p.s. For all you watchers out there – travel south on Route 252 around 9.00am between West Chester Pike and Gradyville Road.

    Mindful lusting is a sign that you appreciate a fine specimen of the human species and the older one gets, the more you notice I can assure you (as I’m in my 60s).

    Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning.

      These sights should be cherished! But not shared with young relatives for fear of overshock! Thanks Vicki 💛

    I must say you are truly old when you stop looking or appreciating. So in my book, you have a way to go yet. But then, I think it’s more a state of mind then age. I stopped looking many years ago.

    I thought you meant the running. Since my running years were my 40s and 50s I got a bit worried 🙂

    Haha!! To say I was shocked when I scrolled down doesn’t begin to cover it…to say I laughed my butt off…DOES!! 🙂 I find it interesting how age seems to make the mind shift from “Oh yes” to “Oh my!” Loves this, Val ♡

    I think, that you are just able to appreciate and absolutely not old, Val 🙂

    Well, if it is a sign of old age, at least it’s a good one! (And thanks for sharing! That photo certainly brightened my day!)

      Glad you were able to live vicariously through this post Ann! I went along the same road today and there was an older gent in baggy sweats… Life is a series of highs and lows!
