One day you wake up and realize twenty years has gone by you. You are no longer young. You vividly remember what you felt when you were your sons age. You are past the nightmare of becoming like your parents. Your oldest child moves on and has a child of his own. You’re a grandparent. The years accelerate into the future. Each year goes by quicker then the one before it. Life is constantly throwing you curve balls. You look ahead and realize you only have a few good years left. Next year I’ll be fifty! My wife has left me and moved somewhere across the country. Suddenly for the first time in my life I am alone! Oh my God, what the hell happened to my life? The wine has turned to vinegar! Maybe the Swami was right when he told me (30 years ago) that the wise man prepares for his death….. Sorry didn’t mean to scare you… just wanted to say… be here now…because that is all you got anyway….grow old with grace…save some money…don’t be too cocky and be humble because someday you will know what I am talking about….
