I sure ain't what I used to be


I was at a family reunion this past weekend. I was the oldest one there. Somebody called me grandpappy. I went over to where the ladies were talkin and Phoebe was tryin to be nice to me, she told the ladies that I was a real hurricane back in the day. A few others chimed in and my nephew Robert said he remembered me from all my crazy exploits at the town hall meetings, he said I was one spry jerk. My best days may be behind me. Now I need a cane to go take a wizz. I went to shave the other day and my hands were shakin like I had a vibrator up my sleeve.

Everybody says Challie, you were really something back then. I think when I die, they'll put on my tombstone, Challie Warner - He was really something back then.

People used to understand me. Now they tell me I'm talking gibberish and feed me chicken soup and shortbread. They ain't how they used to be. I'm tired.

This is awesome Old Man Warner. Thanks for sharing. I like the fact that you are being real. I have good days and bad days, but a lot out there just want to pretend like life is just so good all the damn time. Well it's not. "Now they tell me I'm talkin' gibberish and feed me chicken soup and shortbread."

That's classic, man.

Dear old man Warner:
One man's gibberish is another man's sage advice.
Time has taught me many lessons and I'm not too big of a man to say some lessons I have had to be taught more than once.

One important lesson is that life will surprise you. Yes your not the man you once were none of us are who we used to be. We are all evolving changing like leaves blown in the wind.

When the best days seem like they have gone by watch the eyes of a child light up with joy or take the time to watch the sunrise or sunset paint the sky. There are simple things for simple times that still will bring you peace and joy. Don't morn for days gone by be happy you have tales to tell and those that remember you for them.

None of us are who we were before. Today is a new day and you choose how to hold today in your hand. It can be full of bitterness and regret or it can bring warmth of a cozy fire to your heart Its all the path you choose in your mind.

All I ask is that you think about it and I hope that you may yet give today another chance. After all what else do we have beside this moment?
"A single ripple in calm waters causes many waves"

Peace
TSC
Ken

What a great post. Funny but real! I feel your pain man. About twenty years ago all the hairs on my head got together and decided to abandon me. Abandonment is so traumatic. All I know is that I woke up one day, looked in the mirror and wondered what that bowling ball with eye's like mine was doing perched on my neck. I've been around the block a few times also. The biggest headaches are the constant health issues. Been through everything from Brain tumor, stroke, 17 bouts with pneumonia, arthritis, memory loss, bulging discs, hernia surgery, high blood pressure etc. etc., etc. But at least I'm alive and my winky still winks without the need for a little Blue pill.

On the other hand, I'm retired from everything except music and my wife (poor eyesight) still thinks I'm cute and sexy. Go figure? Yeah, we go through many changes but some of them are for the better. I think I am a much better musician and songwriter than I was 20 years ago. I don't have the stamina I had but my "know how" is more vast and diverse. Look for the positive. It's always somewhere there shining in the midst of the muck and grime that we call life.

Hang in there!

Much Respect,
Stoneman

The way I look at it Challie, is that the best days of our lives are the ones we are living right now.

The days that have gone are really gone, the ones to come...well who knows if they will...so now is what counts. As long a we use "Now" wisely we will leave something worthwhile behind. Thanks for sharing but remember that there is always someone younger and always someone older, and nobody gets younger!

Ciao,

Vincenzo
