I can surely relate

I think many of us can relate, Richard. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

I think we all wake up one day and feel exactly this way, Richard...life races by and we don't even feel the breeze from it speeding past.....nicely penned!

It's tough to wake up sdome morning and find that the boynyounonce were is no longer the man you are. I sometimes wonder if, like Barrie said in peter Pan, there is an island of lost boys. If so, I think I'd be the firstbin line for a ticket. Care to join me, Richard?

Very poignantly expressed. That time comes for us all. A time to wind down and leave competition up to the young Turks. I was born just after my twin brother, the eldest. But I took over in the womb and he didn't have a life of his own until I was paralyzed. I remain very competitive, waking each day to write a better book, win on the stock market, and manage my complex affairs with skill.

When that day comes, I will accept it with grace, knowing that I have prepared well for a long life ahead. However, if stem cells come along, I'll get back out on the golf course and beat my brother's ass! ;-)

These well penned words flow easily and truthfully.

You've been holding that tree up in your profile pic for a long time. I suggest you climb it, swing from it a time or two. Maybe if I expected you to do it you could. I jest but I feel where you're coming from.

Interesting thoughts, Richard...I would pay real money to see you jump high, longer or further...;-)e

Yeah, I hear you Richard. No, he won't be back. Yes, he is gone forever. Relax. You did what you did, now it is time to just think back and smile at the things you accomplished, and be grateful for each new day that comes your way, buddy.
