So the question is.
"WHAT DO I DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE?"
I will be 77 in July but oddly enough I don't feel old yet! Perhaps its all a state of mind or is it? When I wake in the morning the first thing I do is get dressed , then do my face, tidy up the house, tidy kitchen , start the wash machine , make beds but maybe not all in that order then out the door I go! I enjoy getting out and about!
I always thought old was fifty, now I am way pass that. So now I face 77 and well thats getting pretty old. Dad and I have friends that have already passed. We try to fill our days with things we both enjoy doing..... we know the clock is ticking away!
Just read a book about old age and here are the facts......
This is the end of the last lap
Fact! One day I might live alone
One day I was everything to my children....
now their children are everything to them.
Once money was there in a big fat check from Repco...now S. S. check seems so small
Now I don't have to get up early with babies or children, can sleep late if want...and sometimes I wake early and wonder why?
I am happy not preparing the whole Tks.giving meal any more and now others are in charge and I can bring one dish
I am happy that I don't have to take or pick up kids from school anymore or other events
I no longer worry if haven't done much of anything the whole day.... once it was a necessity
So now that I am OLD and i can now do whatever I want to do or choose to do nothing at all!
Maybe this OLD thing is not so bad afterall.....Life is a series of changes and each is a continuous journey... Smooth or rough its quite a journey!
Live well and enjoy the journey! I love this picture!😊
Gee Whiz I'm Old
