I have a habit of reading book(s) before go to bed. I used to read until late night & have to tell myself to stop & continue next day...the more i read the more exciting i got & wanted to know the ending! But now, sign.............., i don't have to tell myself to put down book on hands, because after reading for less than 1/2 hour, my eye lids automatically shutdown & i start to 'fishing' !!! Sign .......... sign because that is the symptom of old age.
I still like to read. But, i tend to choose books that are 'lesser with words' and with bigger font print !!! That is another old age symptom....from short sighted vision, i think i'm advancing to long sighted ......... soooon !!!!
I wonder what's the next symptom i will be getting ...???? Scary at times, but, I will just leave it God & pray that I will age gracefully & usefully (i hope not asking too much). I can understand now why especially some celebrities went thru facial surgery or spent a fortune just trying to get back the old youthful self. Sometimes, when i looked at the mirror, and when nowadays almost everybody greeted me as 'aunty'.... i knew my look is no longer youthful. A bit sad ..... but ........ have to face it right ?! Most importantly, i think, is one's heart. You will feel younger if you feel that you are still young :)
I will tell myself I'm still young, single & available - the most precious treasure i have & i should live the fullest everyday :)

Me toolah. Go to church, suddenly cannot read the words from the bible...too small. At home, books with small print make me strain my eyes.
Indeed age is catching up. I guess what is most important is to be in good health else if health fails, can't do things that we want to do.
