Old Doors

Like an old door with rusted hinges, weathered wood and cracked paint, a life used to routine is difficult to move.  It resists, it protests, it's stiff and it complains.  It likes, or at least, is used to it's present position and the barnacles of age make any real movement a strain.  No one likes strain, particularly old doors and old(er) folks.

Sometimes just a little bit of grease will help. You can usually buy it at the store for a couple bucks and it only takes a moment to apply.  The key is having the ambition to get up off of the couch, walk or drive to the hardware store, look around, find the stuff and take it up to the counter.  Oh, and having the money to pay for it.  Without any one of these elements, the remedy cannot be affected.  In that case you stay on the couch and the door remains closed.
