It would be very interesting to me to see what you think 10 years from now. Were your prognostications accurate and appropriate? Or will you find your statements in ten years do not really reflect where you will be. When we are young we think quite a lot about ourselves. It is only time that begins to expose what reality will be for us as we grow older. I know for me I never expected in my 19th time around the sun to be saddled with a life long time non-curable disease like so many of us have been. Such events temper the way one looks at life throughout life. In any event I wanted to offer a view of someone that has taken my own trip around the sun 70 times. That alone is a humbling thought. For me these humbling thoughts make me take pause and reflect. Offered in peace, Randy.
It's funny you bring up that idea! This is actually a piece I've begun making a habit of rewriting from scratch on an annual basis. The original form of this piece was the article that launched my writing career!
You were diagnosed with a non-curable disease at only 19? Glad to see you're still doing so well at 70! Thanks so much for reading and for the kind words, Randy.
