Where has the time gone?????

JD Seller · Aug 25, 2013

My youngest brother turns 45 today. My oldest son turns 45 on Sept 21. It was kind of funny that my wife and Mother where both pregnant at the same time.

Like lyle niemi posted early who stole all the time????

I am in the landing stage of life but my mind still thinks it is at the taking off stage.

It just seems like yesterday I was married and living in a single room with my bride. The contentment on my son's face as his Mother fed him. That was 45 year ago. She has been gone 18 years too.

We blink and time flashes by us.

JD;

I feel like I am just getting started too, and I'll be 66 in November. I just don't feel old! One day, I'll over do and have trouble but as long as I can still work hard--even if not for 10 hours--I will.

I hear ya. Just turned 65 last week, been feeling pretty old. Bought some beer yesterday, girl said "I guess you're old enough." Told her I could show her my Medicare card if there was any doubt- got a laugh out of her.

Wish I had a better outlook on things- seems like I've always been pretty negative- glass always half empty. I've had a better life than most, just need to keep reminding myself to be a little upbeat.

I sometimes joke to people that my dad has been married only six months more than me. He's 89 and I'm 62. He lost his bride to cancer after being married only 23 years, something I wouldn't wish on anyone, as some of you guys know first hand. Now he and my stepmom have been hitched for 40 years. My friend jokes that my dad married the preacher's wife, and he did just that. Our minister passed from a heart attack a couple of years before my mom passed and his wife eventually became my stepmom. Jim

It certainly is a short dash between your birth and end year.We were discussing this the other day at work.

I'm 64,a couple years ago I was buying some beer and a new girl in the grocery store asked if I had an ID. I said no but I got a white mustache and a bald head. It got a laugh out of the customers in line behind me. She said well I'm supposed to check everybody buying alcohol.

I heard once that life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes. Sure seems to be true.

A friend of mine used to say there's 3 stages in life: youth, middle age, and "you're looking good". He's gone now.
