Aging is officially in process in this body, too, and I really don't like it. I mean, I enjoy the history and the wisdom gained (what little of it there is), but the physical effects of two giant babies, a desk job, lack of exercise and vending machine snack abuse...well.. yoga and walking and running are all singing a similar song in my ear.<br/><br/>But yeah. We have to keep going. It's the only way to keep it at bay. Yep. Aging is officially in process in this body, too, and I really don’t like it.

So I was going to say that what I meant was in the vein of “not giving up” but perhaps I will just think harder about just being where I am right now. And not pushing.
