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 Wife.
Yet in a way it seems like long 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 all of my hopes and dreams....

But, Here it is.... The winter of my life and it catches me by surprise.. How did get here so fast? Where did
the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people though the years and thinking
that those older people were years away from me and winter 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 grey... They move slower and i see an older person now.
Some are in better and some worse shape 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 be.....

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 the ability to go and do things that i wish i had done but never did. But at least i know that the though the winter has come , 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, And there are many things I'm happy to have done, It's all in a lifetime...

SO, If your not in your winter yet.... Let me remind you, That it will be here faster than you think. So what ever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly , Don't put things off too long....
Life gos by quickly, So do what you can do today, As you can never be sure whether this is your winter 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 love 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 in the past.....

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

As the song says: I hope you get the chance live life like you are dying.
Do it now, there may not be tomorrow.
Very Active Patriot Guard rider.
Cose to 500,000 miles on 2 and/or 3 wheels.
Just got back from a Poker Run with a few hurndred HD, Rusty's Ride in Xenia, Ohio. Got a Door Prize, but a pair of jacks and pair 7's did not do much.
I am 78
