Since the birth of my fledgling publication “The Starving Tourist”, I’ve been writing almost exclusively about food and travel every single day! I thought it would be fun to throw in something a little different for today’s post. I came up with this one as I have been, once again, battling with my ever-annoying injuries.

You know when age just creeps up on you and you start to feel different things? Yep, suddenly, things start happening and you realize you’re really getting old.

Here’a a list of things you might start to feel as you venture further into your life journey.

How many of these can you tick off?

  • Your idea of a great outing is checking out a new grocery store
  • You wince and groan as you get up because you ache
  • You forcefully cough or sneeze and throw out your back
  • Your best plan for a Friday night is to stay at home
  • Your bedtime becomes earlier and earlier
  • Your skincare routine keeps getting more elaborate as you fight wrinkles and large pores
  • You walk into a room and forget why you went there
