Adequate

What was adequate once, may not be now in later life.
Is this just how it is?

Re: Adequate

Yep. Peace and quiet. Need it much more than I used to. (Except for music. I still like it loud ) But I guess that's true for most of us?..next!

Re: Adequate

Sleep ! Once, 7.5 hours was just fine. Now, 9hours + a 1 hour nap is needed.

Food ! Once I needed vast amounts in order to maintain my thin frame. Now, less than half of what I once ate is adequate.

Re: Adequate

Yes that too. Same with me. My wife and son both eat twice as much as I do. I used to eat like a horse. No more. I was always burning the candle at both ends when I was young. No more for that also.
