Mid Life? Oh My!


I Think It's Perfectly Normal For A Fifty Something Man To Question The Gradual Progression Of The Aging Process.
I Think It Hits You When You Realize You Are Most Likely Not To Live One Hundred Years. If This Is The Case Then You Must Conclude You Have Lived Well Over Half Your Lifetime. This Alone Can Be A Depressing Thought.
I Can Remember As A Child Looking At An Older Person And Thinking How It Must Feel To Be That Old. I Had No Idea Because I Was Young And Didn't Have A Clue.
Today, Looking Back At Those Childhood Days It Seems Like It Was Only Yesterday.
The Days Of Franklin School And Pappy's Gas Station Are Etched In My Memory Forever. All Of The People I Have Met And Had The Opportunity To Grow Older. Downtown Danville On A Saturday Morning Meant Library Time, Then Off To The Movies We Go!
Tonight As I Sit And Try To Imagine How It Must Feel To Be The Age Of My Father. I Think I Understand The Sand Through The Hour Glass Better At Mid Life Than Any Other Period Of My LifeTime.
Have You Ever Sat And Try To Think Of Your First Moment Of Life?
This Week I Had Two Friends Pass Away. Both Men Came From Differents Walks Of Life. Both Have However Left Their Mark In My Lifetime.
Fred Halls Has Passed Away. Mankinds Loss But Heavens Gain! He Will Be In Song For Eternity. His Mission On Earth Is Complete.
His Achievemeant Was Music For The Soul. I Will Never Forget The Friendly Smile He Gave When Words Weren't Necessary.
As Each Day That Passes I Will Expierence More Death Of Friends Or Family. I Believe I Have Entered A New Segment Of Time. A Time When You Look Past Then Again You Look Forward. Hopefully There Is As Much Future As There Was Past. In Any Case Long Story Short. Live Your Days As If It Were Your Last. It Could Be.

Just Call Me Mac......
