Klotho is the name of the Greek goddess who spins the thread of life. How long is the thread? And does it begin to get frazzled and weak as it nears the end? I never knew how aging would feel, and it's only when it's happening to you that you really care.

Life Changes
My life has become a series of things I cannot access. Whether it is a jar of pickles, dirty milk bottles, unopened doors or things up high, I find myself stretching things I didn't know would stretch, but to no avail.
I seem to need help for everything, even just to think things through. I have developed a default ADD status. How much easier to just go watch the news or take a nap than follow through with what I had planned today.
Sometimes I find easy things to do, things I know I can do: like unload the dishwasher, or clean the floor. Occasionally I even clean the bathtub. But it's a new me I haven't quite yet accessed and that's the worst of all.
