My memory is still pretty good, but no longer razor sharp. I need to get hearing aids. The gray hairs are beginning to take over. There’s more sand out of the hourglass than I can reasonably expect is 
remaining.
I might be concerned about all this if I slowed down long enough to think about it. Or I might welcome these changes. I’m hoping Aging as a Spiritual Practice: A Contemplative Guide to Growing Older and Wiser will help me do the latter. It’s written by a Zen Buddhist priest and is said to help those navigating the waters of age to do so with “a wealth of appreciation and gratitude for the life journey itself.” Hard to argue with the need for us all to do that, regardless of age.
What’s on your nightstand?
