Subject: RE: BS: Am I really that old???
At fifty I haven't the energy to sieze an entire day any more, Carpe Post Meridian makes more sense to me. As I age I learn more, and I refine more. I still play the same games but experience tells me when to slide and when to take the out at second. 100 yards are just a far but I'm in less of a hurry and there is some great things to see along the way. The Swiss naturalist Louis Agassi said of vacations that he took them in his back yard because there were undiscovered worlds under the grasses in his lawn. I still sing the same songs I use too only I understand the passions that inspired them now. Which makes them more passionate in of themselves. I understand now the meaning of " Its the trip, not the destination thats important". As we age we still do the same stuff we did as kids but now we savor when we used to sample. And we've learned to appreciate as well. Ain't nothing wrong with 50, my Sweetie is nearly there and I doubt we will be able to tell the difference tween 49 and 50, any more than we could at 17 and 18 or 22 and 23. If we can just slide through these years together things will be fine.
