ON THE BACK BURNER

There are some days when I am amazed that everything is so peaceful for me. Noodle slept all night,the sun is warm and the sky is bright blue. I am healthy and I am strong. This last part scares me the most. I remember that my chronological age is almost 85. How much longer can I do all of the things that I do. I drive at  night, I eat anything that I like,I take no meds or supplements, I have all of my moving parts. Is this normal? What will happen when I can't do these things. I have had some role models. But they ,even , are gone or have slowed down.I think about these things, mostly in the mornings when I walk  Noodle. And that is another thing. Noodle is an old dog. He already is blind and deaf and has a problem with bladder stones. How much longer will he be around . This is really too heavy for a morning walk.I'm just going to keep going for it.. whatever IT is.
