Where I live, there is a large population of senior citizens. It's nice because they keep an eye on things in the neighborhood and the place doesn't seem desolate during "normal" work hours. I like to keep my kitchen blinds open during the day to let the sun in and there's a certain comfort in seeing the regulars do their daily walks around the block.
Then it dawned on me. My senior citizen neighbors are more active than me!!! They are out there every day, some of them twice a day. Most power walk, some just stroll and others take their pets out for their daily walks. When I realized that these people who are mostly twice my age are 100% more active than I am on a daily basis, I have to say it really made me feel terrible. It's inspiring to see them out there doing their thing, but how can I honestly expect to be active like that in my older years, if I can't even do it now? Talk about putting things into perspective!

I know exactly what you mean...I know many senior citizens that do way more than I do. How embarrassing!
