Ran across the following earlier today. Couldn't help but relate.
Today is the oldest you've ever been, yet the youngest you'll ever be so - enjoy this day while it lasts.
Your kids are becoming you...but your grandchildren are something you never were -- perfect!
Going out is good..coming home is better!
You forget names...but it's okay because other people forgot they even knew you!!!
You realize you're never going to be really good at anything....especially golf.
The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.
You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed...it's called "pre-sleep".
You miss the days when everything worked with just an "on" and "off" switch.
You tend to use more four-letter words ..."what?"..."when?"... ???
What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
Everybody whispers.
You have three sizes of clothes in your closet....two of which you will never wear.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.
But old is good in some things: old memories, old songs, old movies, and best of all, old friends.
Sharing with you things that are on my mind...Maybe yours too. Come back to Wrights Lane for a visit anytime! And, by all means, let's hear from you by leaving a comment at the end of any post. THE MOTIVATION: I firmly believe that if I have felt, experienced or questioned something in life, then surely others must have too. That's what this blog is all about -- hopefully relating in some meaningful way -- sharing, if you will, on subjects of an inspirational and human interest nature. Nostalgia will frequently find its way into some of the items...And lots of food for thought. A work in progress, to be sure.
