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.
