One cliched (can't figure how to do an accented e with my keyboard) complaint of getting older is aches and pains. Professional football players usually retire well shy of their fourth decade on account of the wear and tear caused by their profession.
I personally wish I was pain free. My spine is unkind, keeps me from being all I can be.
Pain does force me to be grateful for little things, and I tend to appreciate 'good days'. I've been in discomfort so long, I'd probably feel wrong if I suddenly felt 'right'. On my to-do list for the next year is to get a serious check-up, although the prospect of that particular chore bothers me very much. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
One day at a time has always been my mantra, and will continue to be so. I'm fortunate to have a wonderful, supportive wife, and two wonderful kids who often help me forget the aches and pains.
