I will be 70 years old later this year. Not that old but in truth, way older than I thought I would become. I am in fairly good health, with back pain like most men, but otherwise doing well.

But recently I am reminded of old movies or dramas where people are lost in the freezing cold in the middle of nowhere.

They keep walking and walking to get to a place of safety and warmth. Nothing in sight, they keep walking, knowing if they stop to rest, they will cool down dramatically. The movies warn about not moving and if you sit too long you will just fall asleep and never wake up.
A bit too dramatic, but every so often I JUST WANT TO SIT DOWN FOR A WHILE.

Knowing one day I might not ever get back up is actually a comforting thought at times. Tired all the time with so much that still needs to be done. Everything is sore. Little things are difficult now. Friends and family are farther and fewer.

One of these days or nights I will just want to sit down for a while. Close my eyes and rest for a minute or two.
