Now that my eyes are "fixed",
the ptergium growth and cataracts removed,
I expected to immerse myself in reading
and work on the computer as long as I wanted,
but my aching 67 year old eyes
reminded me that they tire quickly.
As my body gains strength,
I envision long energetic hikes,
only to find that my several injuries
and weak adrenal glands
dictate a more sedate ramble.
Yes my ageing body will never return to
its youthful state in this life,
but it has given me both the wisdom and capacity
to live a life more full, balanced, and loveing
than I have never known before.
