I can't do that anymore.

I was walking my dogs, and they took off down a few steps. I was above them, with two feet to the same ground they were, and thought, oh, I can jump down there! I thought it would take less time than circling back down the stairs. What a bad idea. I jumped, but my feet met the ground at different times, knocking me to my side. I started laughing at myself, and looked around for witnesses. No one seemed to see, thank goodness.
It appears I'm too old for some things. What have you found you are too old for?

Well, I am glad you are all right and did not get hurt. SIGH I find out what I am too old for when I too least expect it like looking for something under the couch and then having to struggle to get up

@AmbiePam just so if and when we get in such situations we can find the humor in them. My late husband several years ago would say to me if I said it was difficult to get back up - While your down there say a prayer and then he helped me up, Now I have to help myself but I always remember him saying that and he knew that would make me laugh,

I am 37 and I feel like it's wrong to use the phrase 'too old' because I'm young by most standards. However, due to my chronic health, I can't really run, walk very well or do a lot of things a 37-year-old should be able to do. Forget running, forget jumping, forget dining into a pool. Yep. My body acts like I have one limb, or I'm "too old" for those things.

Glad you weren't hurt jumping off the steps.

Oh, thank you, I'm okay. Luckily, the dogs weren't far, and I didn't have to chase them. Although you should have seen me today. Annabelle found a chicken bone, and I chased her in circles trying to take it from her. I gave up the fifth time around the same bush.

I am sorry and I hope you did not get hurt.
When I do this kind of silly things I always look around the be sure there are no witnesses.

Doing anything quickly or out of impulse, I end up slipping or stumbling and at time, falling.

I usually think that I'm too old to watch cartoon, and my friend also said so. But lately I realize that who cares, I can watch a cartoon I like and dont care about their opinion anymore! I now know that I wont never get too old to watch a cartoon
