Join The Club

---

One of us…

Has a club…the Join The Club club…

Those words at the eye doctor, “I usually see this in people 20 years older than you”, hitting a little hard…that husband of mine, 7 years older, following up with…

Join the club…

And he’s not wrong…he IS in the I Can’t See Well club and after trying to cross stitch without magnifiers and a headlight that younger wife of his is certainly now a member…

But let’s not forget the…

Frozen shoulder…
Join the club…

Pesky tinnitus…
Join the club…

Arthritis…back pain…can’t lose the belly blob…
Join the club, join the club, join the club…

But maybe…just maybe this old gal doesn’t WANT to join the club…the curses of old age club…pretend it’s not happening…pretend things aren’t changing…

But what would she be without her club…those friends who commiserate…been there done that…offer suggestions, support, camaraderie?…

She’d be lost…

We got this, my friends…let’s navigate this thing called life together…and when you get lucky enough to join…

Then welcome to the club…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
