Let It Go

---

This old gal…

Is a ponderer…a muser…a wonder why-er…

Remember back in the day young me working at the pizza place counter…taking money from older folks…wondering how they got those big cuts on their arms…

And years later the obvious answer is…they have no idea…that old skin so paper thin…any little thing can cause a ding…

Kind of fell down the pondering rabbit hole…obsessing almost…that husband of mine listening patiently as one of us rattles on…

I wonder…as you age…why skin gets so thin…knuckles swell up…tinnitus is out of control…you can’t walk…you can’t bend…you can’t pee…you can’t see…

And then what to my wondering eyes should appear…as if the universe was listening…an article online…breaking down the intricacies of aging…

Loss of this…loss of that…dysfunctional this…unstable that…not to mention a thing called zombie cells…

And so it is…for once..pondering me realized there are just some things you don’t need to know…things that don’t need pondered…things that really don’t matter…

And so it is…in life…change the things you can change…otherwise…let it go…

Let it go…let it go…let it go…
​
And that patient husband of mine…agrees…
