Getting old

I think I have one foot in youth and one foot in elderly, so I am noticing the changes of being old creeping up on me. I am constantly surprised by the things I am no longer able to do quickly and comfortably. For instance, technology. I am baffled by the information highway known as the world wide web. I am constantly fumbling my way through opening folders, transferring files, trying to get volume on my "computing machine".

I used to be able to routinely do those above mentioned tasks. I never had to use the "help" option over and over again. I cannot remember the easiest file transfers and such.

And yet this is a good thing. As long as I'm struggling and learning about file transfers and such, my brain is being exercised away from dementia when I enter my 70-80s.

So even though it's frustrating now, in the long run, it will help me stay with one foot in youth.
