Yet in a way, it seems like years ago, and I wonder where all the years went.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I know that I lived them all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">However, here it is \u2026\u2026 the last quarter of my life and it catches me by surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">How did I get here so fast?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Where did the years go and where did my youth go?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that I was only on the first quarter and that the fourth quarter was so far off that I could not visualise it or imagine fully what it would be like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Yet, here it is \u2026\u2026 my friends are retired and getting grey &#8211; they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me but I see the great change. They\u2019re not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant \u2026\u2026 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&#8217;d become.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day and taking a nap is not a treat anymore. It&#8217;s mandatory because if I don&#8217;t of my own free will, I fall asleep where I sit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">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 ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did. But at least I know that, though I\u2019m on the last quarter and I&#8217;m not sure how long it will last, that when it&#8217;s over on this earth, it&#8217;s over. A new adventure will begin!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn&#8217;t done; things I should have done but truly there are many things I&#8217;m happy to have been done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It&#8217;s all in a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, if you&#8217;re not on the last quarter yet, let me remind you that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life do it quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Don&#8217;t put things off too long. Life goes by so quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you&#8217;re on the last quarter or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of life. So, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember &#8211; and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the past years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u2018Life\u2019 is a gift to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Be Happy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Have a great day!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Remember, it is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You may think:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Going out is good &#8211; but coming home is better!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You forget names &#8211; but it&#8217;s okay because some people forgot they even knew you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You realize you&#8217;re never going to be really good at anything like golf &#8211; but you like the outdoors!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The things you used to care to do, you aren&#8217;t as interested in anymore &#8211; but you really don&#8217;t care that you aren&#8217;t as interested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV on than in bed \u2013 you call it \u2018pre-sleep\u2019!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You miss the days when everything worked with just an \u2018On\u2019 and \u2018Off\u2019 switch!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You tend to use more 4 letter words \u2013 \u2018what\u2019 and \u2018when\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You have lots of clothes in your wardrobe, more than half of which you will never wear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, stay well, \u2018Old friend!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Have a fantastic day!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Have an awesome quarter \u2013 whichever one you\u2019re in!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Stay Blessed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>&#8220;It\u2019s not what you gather but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>\u2014\u2014And the older you get, the more thankful you\u2019ll feel<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Enjoy the day<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOOD FOR THOUGHT \u2013 by Charles Schokman In One &amp; a Half years time from now at 95 I would be in the last quarter of my life.
