Friday afternoon and the living is good, well except for not being able to sleep last night. Who knows why on occasion there is no way this body is going to go to sleep at any reasonable hour. And of course, when that happens, I wake up way too early as well. So, I’m in a bit of a daze today but have still managed to function for the most part. It sure isn’t the way it was when I was in my twenties and thirties when I could be up drinking most of the night and get up and go to work. I doubt I was very useful then, but I managed to show up most of the time. The things we do in our youth…
I did a lot of crazy things in my younger years and to be honest, I’m not sure how it is I’m still alive. There were a lot of adventures, and we had some laughs but if the truth be told, there wasn’t any joy. I may have seemed quite successful business wise but there was a lot of covering up unconscious neediness and emotional instability.
No, my friends, I would not trade this time of life for the way it was back then for anyone’s love or money. It feels like I’m just coming into my own at last. A good reminder that it’s never too late…
Namaste
