Oh, Bother
It’s not the getting older
That bothers me
Yes, I often wish
My body felt less stiff
My joints were less achy
But it’s not the getting older
That bothers me
Aging is a natural progression–
I’m beginning to understand
What bothers me-
It is the time passed
Compared to the probability
Of the time remaining
Life’s great happiness is to be convinced that we are loved. Les Miserables, Victor Hugo

A wonderful story of God’s grace and redemption, Les Miserables!

Live each day as if it were your last, a friend told me. By this stage, why not. Live moderately to avoid tripping on anything though.
