Life is great
The older you get, the shorter each year becomes, in a relative sense - so that while the 12 months between one birthday and the next seems like an eternity when you're eight, by the time you reach eighty the passage of a calendar year seems ten times faster. Here is my Mom yesterday at 92 years young.
To cut a long story short we spent a fantastic day at sea and Mom's energetic exuberance was a visible inspiration to others less than half her age. We were initially supposed to have been aboard a sparkling 40 some foot express cruiser but it's electrical system crapped out and on short notice we ended up on an old but venerable 31 Bertram and it was a magical day. Life is beyond good - it is precious as hell and the good fortune of being able to enjoy even a moment of it must never be squandered. http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...pictureid=3242 |
Gee Buzz, you look very...retired.

Buzz, That is great. It looks as if both of you are having a great time. Ron ;) |
Thanks guys. My mother is really the one with the great outlook. With almost eight decades of involvement and accomplishment behind her - from a young office sargeant in WWII to a pioneer in the hotel industry and a one woman tea party activist who braved numerous death threats to bring about serious political/social change.
No doubt at her age she must be acutely conscious of the rapid, relentless passage of time, yet she carries on with a calm, relaxed and unhurried disposition that constantly reminds me to try to keep life's issues in their proper perspective. I do consider myself very lucky indeed and I have promised myself that I will celebrate her life while she is still here instead of doing it in sad retrospect after she is gone. :) |
Buzz,
The picture says it all. Too many people wait until it is too late - very glad to see that you are not. |
Buzz,
Great stuff! Along this subject, I subscribe to my sister-in-law's conspiracy theory: Time really does go faster as you age, but they don't tell you :LOL::LOL::LOL: Tom |
Happiness is a 31' Bertram with a fighting chair.......OH, and being able to show your Mom what it is like to be on a 31' Bertram with a fighting chair. The only thing missing is a 170 lb. bluefin.
