What’s It All About?
I don’t know about everyone else, but these past couple of years have made me keep asking the question, “What’s it all about?” I know that everyone has phases they go through in life - 20’s are about finding one’s self; 30’s are about achieving; 40’s are about grasping for youth; and as far as I can tell, 50’s seem to be about trying to figure out why so much time during the previous decades was wasted on all those other phases!
I mean, it’s not that I don’t haven’t had great times throughout all those years. I have had an absolutely wonderful life full of every possible blessing for which I am always grateful. But knowing that there’s probably less time left in front of me than behind, what I most value now has changed. The notion of “success” no longer is about accumulating “stuff”, money, fame, or titles. Now, more and more, it is about having the choice to spend my time with friends and loved ones having FUN! Whether at home playing with my dog, Simon, or going on a cruise with Robert and our friends, it is now all about making the one thing that I know I want to have more of as I get older - MEMORIES!
Cheers!
