Sport tonight.  Mat and I are heading to his beloved Nottingham Forest .. yes we sponsor their Captain Michael Mancienne so we are in hospitality tonight.. Mat was convinced I would find an excuse not to be going.. What he forgets is that I used to stand in the terraces there many years ago with Willie Russell.. I was much younger than Mat then of course.

Talking age...God's Plan for Ageing

Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys and other things thus doing more walking.

And God looked down and saw that it was good.

Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose coordination so they would drop things requiring them to bend, reach & stretch.

And God looked down and saw that it was good.

Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors  would have additional calls of nature requiring more trips to the  bathroom, thus providing more exercise.

God looked down and saw that  it was good.

So if you find as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it’s God’s will. It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under your breath.
