I actually think as you get older you seem to forget what a great time that you had when you were young. And now that you are old you appreciate most anything if it dosen’t blow up in your face. I can’t imagine that life could be better than being around 20, spending a few days camping on a deserted beach in Muleje, drinking cerveza, snorkeling for scallops and having sex 3-4 times a day with a young hot 20 year old.
It’s great to remember all the great times youth gave us–and each of us will for the rest of lives. They become little snapshots in your memory, stored away forever.
No one likes to get older, but all of us will. I’m sure I never thought I’d be in my 50’s, but here I am, and grateful I made it this far–some don’t, you know.
Getting older isn’t great, but it isn’t all bad, either. Getting to the point of not having to worry about money, knowing the kids are pretty much settled in life, doing what you love, etc., etc., gives it a certain sheen to me.
The main thing is to try to enjoy each day, just as you mentioned.

Favorite line from a Brave Combo song
“It takes a lot of practice
to polka with a cactus.”
