Good gracious, time moves so fast. One day you're young, happy, carefree, just chasing some happiness and then, bam, 10,20,30,40 years fly bye bye.
The time has come. I have "retire" from the daily grind. Not much saved, thought I had it all planned but it's ok. God enough money to live on, eat, and still have a bit left over.
So much to learn still. Lessons given and not learned, over and over. Too many people passing through my life and just moving on.
Too many loves, heartaches, let downs, disappointments, deceptions, depression, drifting, delusions.
Now, the realization that time is definitely finite and limited. The awful awareness that my hour glass has just a bit more left.
Loss of health, wealth, and all that was once treasured and valued - things, people, memories.
Live well while you are young. Live each day to the max. Enjoy your loves and your achievements. Exult in your small victories. No matter what your dreams, work for them and get them. One day you won't have the energy, time, or resources to go after them.
Yeah, life is different journey for each of us. We look for the commonalities, the key check points and milestones. The plot is pretty much the same, it's the action and drama that is different for each of us.
Enjoy your journey!
