WALK A MILE IN THEIR DIAPERS

OK…
So today’s post isn’t all holiday festive…
It's about life…
And its decline.
I’ve been visiting someone near to me…
Who’s in a nursing home.
It’s a sobering place for sure…
And as I walk out of there everyday…
I get a better perspective on life because…
OK, I haven’t found an agent yet…
Let alone be published…
But!
I can still walk!
Trust me…
Never mind worrying about losing your mind when you get older…
Worry about losing your ability to walk…
Not only so you can escape from nursing homes…
Because trust me…
If you still have your mind, you’ll want to…
But more important…
You need to walk to take your own rear end to the bathroom
Because not being able to walk is the criteria…
For who gets escorted to the bathroom…
And who gets stuck wearing adult diapers.
I’m not making fun of residents in a nursing home…
All I’m saying is…
Never stop exercising!
As I’m sitting and writing now
I'm doing butt squinches.
And if you sit on yours
As much as I do mine
You should be too.

Always, Em-Musing

P.S. So, this is the post I was too afraid to post
        last Friday. Distasteful or no biggie?
