What do you miss from your youth?

i miss the lack of bills

 

AND THEN IT IS WINTER .....
You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching
you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was
young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in
a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went.
I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then
and of all my hopes and dreams.

But, here it is... the “back nine” of my life and it
catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the
years go and where did my youth go?

I remember well seeing older people through the years and
thinking that those older people were years away from me and that “I
was only on the first hole” and the “back nine” was so far off that I
could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.
But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting
gray...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in
better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great
change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and
vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now
those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd become.

Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real
target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's
mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep
where I sit!

And so...now I enter into this new season of my life
unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and
ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!!


But, at least I know, that though I’m on the “back nine”, and I'm not
sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this
earth...it's over. A new adventure will begin!
Yes, I have regrets.
There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done,
but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done.
It's all in a lifetime.

So, if you're not on the “back nine” yet...let me remind
you, that it will be here faster than you think.
So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly!
Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly.
So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you’re on the “back nine” or
not!

You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of
your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want
your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love
you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years
past!!

"Life" is a gift to you.
The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after.
Make it a fantastic one.

 

Always seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

and he runs like someone who's just shit in his pants which are too big for his waist

god i hope i dont run like that.....ever

 

So true! Take opportunities when they come, because at some point they will stop coming.

The ironic thing about your post, though, is that the people who have the most to gain from your message won't read it.

 

Thanks Glenn, I'm glad I found this site. I'm new to all of this

 

i miss healing quickly


both physically and emotionally

 

I got sent home from school numerous times because my skirt was too shirt. My mother got called in once or twice. She dutifully listened to the principal go on and on about my "moral development", then as soon as we were out in the car, she giggled along with me.

And I had to have a girl friend in a larger city some distance away buy me a teeny bikini because they weren't available in my small town.

 

you know what it all comes too,dear old granny...
it's the sheer lack of feeling a hippie...everybody can profile himself/herself as a hippie..
it has become an internet thing..in my sincere opinion it goes much deeper then a bit typing on an azerty/qwerty keyboard..
oh well..I'm not gonna say much more...oh no..why should I??:mickey:
you know??Arizona..is a special state in the bloody U.S.A??
must be that nearby desert,is it?

 

You may be right there, granny.

 

Hitch hiking! Just can't do it anymore. Either to dangerous or no one will pick you up.

 

Most of all I miss my sweet wife. It's almost 7 months since she passed away, cared for and loved by me. We were in love for more than 50 years. I'm so grateful for every time I told her I loved her, how beautiful she was, how much fun, how I respected her.

 

Soda with real sugar. Mostly now as a treat I will drink soda and usually it will be either a natural one or a Mexican one without the high fructose corn syrup.

I miss so much but right now I'll say roller skating.

 

The ability to see it clearly

 

See it clearly? XD
Why, I don't think I've ever seen anything too clearly... physically either.
I've been under the impression that clear thinking and maturity come when I get older.

 

I still smoke pot but nowadays I wake up in the morning coughing as a result. I miss my young lungs.
