Noticing the effects of age.

I don't consider myself old really at all. I'm not even middle-age by the worlds take on it. I am past my physical prime, though, and for some reason I haven't really admitted to noticing how much I may have lost when it comes to my physical prowess. I know I was a quicker basketball player when I was younger but I have never really felt like it could have been much of a difference... until, perhaps, as I played tonight... and a little bit last week. Maybe I am noticeably slower than I used to be now. I am not sure. All the hustle I can give will certainly continue its downward trend as time presses forward. But I wonder when I will admit to myself that I have given enough. I hope it's more than twenty years away from now. I hope it's more than thirty years away from now.
