Its funny how life goes . Never sure what is around the next corner . Never knowing when you might have that Curve Ball aimed at you that you never saw coming . Life should be lived to the fullest with Family and Friends . Laughter is good for the soul . I had always wished that when the final day came that I would go quickly ..... now I am not so sure .
My concerns are not for me but my love ones . Did I do enough ? Are they ready to go on without my guidance . Did I really do enough to insure their well being and safety .Its no longer about me or what I want but what I leave behind that matters . I find that I now fill my spare time looking at different life scenarios to correct unfinished matters in my life while I can . Its not Monetary issues but real life issues that we all let slide to the side in life , thinking we will address them later . Later may never come .
I will miss the long dog days of summer , sitting on a porch swing and sharing good conversation with the people I love .
How much time we each have is only known by God . That course was mapped out at our birth .
No longer do I jump to the urge to be the best at my chosen profession or a success in business .You can not buy happiness . I now look at success in life as the friends and family that I have acquired along the way . I wish I had realized that more as a young man .
So how shall I spent my remaining time in life ? By trying to look at every situation in life through other peoples eyes and attempting to understand their feelings . Respecting the right for them to say they disagree . Bending down and giving a helping hand when ever I can . I know I will still stumble at times , old habits are hard to break .
These are the ramblings of a old man . Why is it that the true wisdom always comes later in life instead of earlier .Some things cannot be taught in schools or colleges . It has been a heck of a ride .
