The older I get, the more things I add to the list of bygone days…

There was camping, swimming, biking, hiking,

Barbies, babies, drinking, dancing, horse riding,

motorcycles, mopeds, sand dune climbing, river rafting,

drive-in theatres, frat parties, sunbathing,

boy chasing, love making, chance taking…

Just call me the Risk Junkie, cause if it looked scary, I’d be trying to do it!

It’s like that song about the song that never ends, my list does in fact go on and on and on…

Life changes for us all on that big wheel of time, and while some things change or disappear as we get older, we still find plenty of activities and hobbies to bring us pleasure, they might just look a bit different.

I might not bike and hike like I used to, nor can I “CAMP” without a mattress inside of an RV, but I do walk along a lovely river in the woods nearly every day, leaving me filled with just as much pleasure being outdoors, as it did back in the day.

I could go back through my whole list of things I did when I was younger, explaining to you how each one of them has changed over the years… but I suspect that your own lives come with similar lists. We are all on the same wheel of time, just at differing places on it’s cycles of motion.

Where one activity stops, slows, or loses my interest… another surfaces to bring me just as much joy and pleasure… just different, and maybe even better than that of the past. 

Just sayin,

Here, have a cookie…
