time flies when your having fun
« on: March 22, 2009, 08:07:40 PM »
I think as I get older the time goes by faster than it used to. As a kid time drug by. Friday was never going to get here. Now the weeks fly by, then the months, then the years, Hay I can't be this old.  :'( Could this be a terrorist plot????? ;D

Gotta remember how to play for sure. I have known a few that chose to sit in a chair after retirement, some just don't last long and they are gone six months latter.

That's sort of a good sign. I've observed it myself. I believe it is because we have learned how to enjoy life to the fullest. Best wishes to you.

The Humming birds have returned here. They are great to watch zip and zing around the yard. I have a few feeders in the yard. this year I plan to get them to eat out of my hand.

OK, I turned 60 yesterday.  This morning all my joints hurt.  Of course yesterday morning they hurt just as bad.  I'm leaving today for a snowmachine trip into the Alaska Range by myself.  Some say I'm too old to make the trip, let alone by myself.  I'll probably put 200 miles on the machine.  The snow is deep, got reports from the local miners of 30ft drifts over the trail.  The cabin is totally covered, I'll have to dig out the stove pipe, and the front door.  So what, that happens.  I'll let you know how the trip went when I get back.

When I was a kid the hours drug by.  A day was a long time, and a week took forever.  Now it seems I blink and a month went by.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

The future always seems like it takes a while to happen. The past on the other hand is just liked you blinked.

I actually find more contentment in my 69th year.
Everybody ages differently.
Don't expect your body to age gracefully.
Do what you want and have respect for the age continuim think--in other words pace yourownself.
My wanderlust went off without a hitch and the hen and I had a great time.
I made a day trip out of looping around Galveston and trinity bays to see the results of IKE.
Next week I will take on of my day trips too South Louisiana.
It is not nearly the same as Sourdough's trips--but I would love to go on one with him and would at the drop of a hat.
Dieing before you die is really not smart.
Blessings

It seemed before my daughter was born that the years just drug by. After her birth they are now flying. She just turned 13. I think it is because I now have something to judge time by now. Who would have thought I would be with my wife for 18 years now!!!!!!!!! :o I know they say time flies when your having fun but I have not had to much fun in years. Dale
