When You Get Older…

February 27, 2025 by Dave Miller

When you get older, your hands can no longer open cans or bags or much of anything.

When you get older, you spend time sorting your medications into pill caddies.

When you get older, it becomes almost impossible to stand up without grunting.

When you get older, using closed captions when watching TV becomes increasingly necessary.

When you get older, driving at night becomes more of an adventure.

When you get older, taking a nap becomes one of life’s greatest joys.

When you get older, hopes and dreams become reflections, regrets, and satisfactions.

When you get older, the ridiculous music young people listen to pales compared to the quality soundtrack of our youth (when we “put the lime in the coconut”?).

When you get older, getting enough fiber becomes central to happiness. Details are unnecessary.

When you get older, “work smarter, not harder” is no longer a cliché but a necessity.

When you get older, the American church often pushes you aside to say, “We need someone younger.”
