Age is all in your mind
Age is all in your mind
Yes, I am the Energizer Bunny and when recently somebody said that to me and I laughed because he's like 20 years younger than me.
He was asking me what I did this weekend and I told him that I redid my front and back yard.
He said he didn't think he could keep up with me, which was a real compliment but come on your twenty years younger, you should be running circles around my old ass!
What's wrong with the young people today? They don't have the work ethic that I grew up with, to me I'm not even working hard now. If you want to talk about hard work, it was when I was married and trying to take care of 2 kids under the age of 2, running a bread route from home, taking care of 200 plus animals and making sure the house was perfect and the dinner was on the table every night at 6 o'clock.
After cleaning up, homework, baths and bedtime, I would be doing hair until 11:30 at night.
See that was hard work, this... this is a piece of cake. I will admit that it takes a little longer to recover now than it did 20 years ago but all in all, I'm hanging in there.
Obviously I'm making a 35 year old tired just listening to me so not so bad.
But seriously, I like doing what I do, I like getting out of my yard and cleaning and mulching. I like painting and doing things around my house, fixing stuff. It gives me a sense of accomplishment, like I did that and that makes me feel good that I can do all this myself. I can show my girls that they too can do all of this by themselves, if they need be.
Now don't get it twisted I would love a man who we can do it together but until then….I'm good. I don't know why I am like this, I guess I saw my parents work all day and then fixed our broken down farm house at night and on all their days off. My mother worked beside my dad and never complained, these are the genes I got.
I wasn't fortunate to have been born with a golden spoon up my ass, if you wanted something, you worked hard for it. It was just life for me.
I wasn't born with a sense of entitlement like so many kids are today. You either won or you lost, you didn't get a trophy for being half assed. No one got to be "famous" by taking pictures of themselves, you had to have a real job.
I do what I have to do because I have to do it…
I have no other choice, I know no other way. I want to keep active until it's my time. I will never be old inside my head, I will keep acting and doing things until it's time to go home.
So today my friends, my advice to you is don't act your age. Keep doing the things you love, keep active, exercise, learn new things, try different things, be open to everything and anything.
You give yourself the energy. Your mind controls your body, so if you say you can't, you won't.
Anyone can be an Energizer Bunny, it's just up to you.
