AWAKENING

AWAKENING

I had an awakening last night. I was thinking how I was ten years older than someone on TV who was fifty years old. That's when it hit me. In ten years, I'll be friggin' seventy years old. I can't even explain how old that sounds.

I guess, if you're thirty years old, sixty and seventy sound about the same. I never gave seventy a thought until last night. What will I be able to do at seventy if I make it that far? Still play softball? basketball? run? lift? chase women? OMG

Will I be thankful just to be able to walk? get up out of bed? feed myself? get by without serious toilet issues? remember who I am? OMG

I've got a lot to do in the next ten years!
