I've watched countless old people shuffle from place to place. I always wondered why they don't just pick up their feet. Shuffling one's feet is dangerous and it isn't how we're meant to walk.
I turned 38 a few weeks ago. Are you wondering what in the world that has to do with shuffley old people? Well, I'll just tell ya.
My body hurts. When I turned 35 I could tell a difference. 38 has been life altering. I've been pert'near (if you don't know what that means consult a redneck) crippled since it got cold outside. My joints ache all the time.
Well.....just to make my new year fun and exciting, I slipped going down the stairs in my home yesterday afternoon and have injured my shoulder. Just what I needed.
This morning I'm feeling some solidarity between me and the aged counterparts I've studied all these years. I've decided that perhaps shuffling really is safer.
