With over a half a century behind me; I know a half century
sound like a long time, but in reality 50 years is not that long. At 56 years of
age I look back and it amazes me at the living I’ve done in such a short time.
I remember listening to my dad tell stories of his life, things
he had done, places he had been and I would think, at his age, then in his
fifties and sixties he hadn’t lived long enough to do all that. Now in my
fifties looking back I have to say WOW I guess he did . . . I know I have done a
lot in the last 56 years and looking back I wonder sometimes where did time go;
other times I have to wonder how could I have packed so much into such a short
span of time, it really boggles the mind when I think about
it.
Many of us, myself included look back on our lives at the good
and bad, we have fond memories, bad memories, remorse and regrets. We wonder
what would have happened if we’d done something different, what would we change
if we could go back and redo our past? Even with the mistakes I’ve made, the
decisions that turned out bad I look at where I am now and I really would not
want to change anything . . . still there is that little voice in the back of my
mind that asks ‘what if?’
