Gosh Ronny...you are in reflective mood! But a brilliant post. I think you and I are roughly the same age, and I would go along with everything you say....indeed, I have been thinking along the same lines lately! Where did those years go? But I am determined to enjoy whatever time is left to me while I am here, because I believe, as you do, that when it's over...it's over. Whenever I suggest to my OH that he might buy a new this, or that, he says 'oh... I don't know...is it worth it? The clock is ticking'! That really gets on my nerves! Yes...the clock is ticking, but I'm not listening to it!
