"You have eternity to sleep and
only one small lifetime to live.
Get out and run with the wolves."
~Amelia Dashwood
The woman says it all and well
'tis something to think about!
As I approach these final years
of my life, I find myself thinking
about all that wasted time I have
spent sleeping.
I do give myself credit for all my
wondrous adventures, life lived
rather than simply existed. Still,
there are a few dreams I let slip
'twix and 'tween my fingers.
I wish I had spent more years in
the home my father built for me.
I look back at those years I ran
26 K a day in marathon prep. I
so remember cooking meals in
my fireplace coals. Yum! And to
say naught of camp cooking.
Looking back, I see I am fondly
recalling things I actually lived
and did rather than wished I had
done. Kudos to moi!
Obviously, somewhat hampered
by that whole age thing, still I am
going to strive to keep on living,
experiencing, enjoying!
Living over existing anytime, any
place, any how . . .
