Recently my husband reminded me of all the adventure that awaited us; now that we are soon to be totally retired. We have sooooo much to do. The places to go are endless the lists keep growing; and I know I will never get packed!
Then the first doctors visit started and then the next. Well he was right, we have a lot of stuff to do, and a lot of places to go, and I sure as heck have a lot of paper work to do, because he has retired I guess, and I still haven't packed!
I pondered the one thing he said," ain't it a bitch, you get old enough to enjoy life, and you are to broken to do it". Well I think of it more as a safety net, a way to slow us down so we can grow old enough to see our grand children. I believe if we had the same crazy insane ability we had at 20 any now we would not last 6 months. What we could pack into a weekend back then most people take guided tours for now; and definitely bigger boats! I am old enough and wise enough now to enjoy life slowly and gently, for the simple beauty and grace that each morning brings and the promise of an adventure if I so desire.
Modern medicine will fix the broken parts or at least attempt to sooth the pain and we will let nature take care of the rest. Life is truly always about looking forward no matter how broken or dispirited you feel because the next great adventure is surely just around the curve!
