That you have had over the years but not even realized. Kind of like having a headache and later somone ask you how it's your head and you realized hmm it went away gradually and I didnt realize it.

With my rotating days one week nights the next 12 hr schedule weekends well I seldom know what day it is.

For some reason I realized today was Friday. Nothing special just another day on day shift. For some reason im not sure of I realized it was payday. Now thats not what really hit me . The part that hit me was realizing I have not given a single thought of importance to Friday payday in probably a decade. That lead down an entire rabbit hole of memories like only having one vehicle and having my wife drop me off at work and coming to what jobsight I was working on at lunch on Friday so I could give her my check to cash to get the behind bills paid.

At some point I went from Friday payday survival to not a single thought about it in years. Then more random thought rabbit holes like people's behavior and language we dont fully realize how pressures build up and affect us. It manifest in how we talk.

I was talking with a close family member and his big overtime check he had coming and other checks for his business coming in came out in his language. Example I have a big check on Friday I can do this with. Looking/relying on payday. I remember how that was and now that i put some thought to it I realize how all that pressure consumes us our focuse and mental band with is limited and when its in survival mode we cant reach our full potential. Whan that pressure is no more we are free to relax think and plan at a new level. No longer think week to week or month to month but into decades.

Got a bit more in depth than I ment to on the Example ther are probably many things we all have had that gradually changed and we didnt realize it or notice the shift or effect. Takes a bit of reflecting to realize what they may be and recognize the turning point on something you didnt notice shifted.

The above is what got me randomly on the topic but some other shifts I can up with, not needing to have a game bag at my limit to have a good hunt. Infact I dont need to fire a shot ot pack a gun these days to have a great hunt.

I started noticing sun rise and sets, cool night air, song birds and just being content. Taking enjoyment from things I used to over look and take for granted.

Maybe its age/mid life, reduced financial stress freeing up band width, possibility my body/health slowing me down enough im noticing? Whatever it is its nice.

Anyone else start noticing things like this if so at what age?

Gaay!

Males with large members don't ramble on like that...

Spoken like a man trying to over compensate. While not having the ability of any self reflecting thoughts beyond surface level. Physiology is not interesting to everyone.

Only those with ability to have debt of thought. If you dont like it dont respond or click on the post. There are usually simple solutions to these massively complex problems.

You know that won't happen.

This may be the gayest thing ever put on the internet.

...and long walks on the beach.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a Ride!’”

Na man I never liked the beach. Sand gets everywhere, and there is always a slope and a lot of sun.

I don't think I change much. Not sure if that's a good thing. I've always noticed those little things, but even more now. I got excited about the fireflies this year. Reminds me of childhood. I think everything is a search to feel like a kid again.

At 70 years old aint nobody got time fo dat.
