    Seventy-seven is as new to me
    as my first pregnancy.
    Morning electrolytes prevent wobbling .
    A plethora of drugs and minerals
    protect me from moods and migraines.
    Arthritis resculpts my hands.
    My neck hates holding up my head.
    Time takes its toll
    but gives its gifts.
    Limitations are not prognoses.
    Deafness silences my world but
    I can still hear the birds sing.
    I'm grateful for the quiet.
    Subtitles are simpler and silent.
    I remember the oddest things
