I resemble this. Although I am not old, I am older than I was. As the weeks and months go by, I find that I remember less and forget more. Lists used to be optional, now they are mandatory.
I have also lost part of my incentive to take on and change the world. When I was young, I had a lot of tools in my toolbox and I could not wait to launch them on the church world. I was a voracious reader. These days, my tools look like they belong to an old carpenter and I am not reading much.
What I am doing is living one day at a time. No pressure, no worries. While part of me feels disengaged from what were my life dreams, I am enjoying life in ways that I never have before.
Yes the older I get the less I know. But the older I get the more relaxed I am in and with life. That is a good thing.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
