Reflections in Retirement

by Buzzo
(Ill.)

I often times find myself in reflective moods as I ponder,"just how did I all of a sudden get old?" I look in the mirror and wonder who that is looking back at me.

I realize that I have peaked, and that the "best" is probably over.

I often lament over the fact that I could have done more. Been more involved in life, travelled more, given back to society more, what ever. I guess we come to the plate only once and we can either walk, run, or strike out!

I realize that a life is like a grain of sand that washes up on the beach, there one moment and then washed out to sea never to return!



WOW.. Buzzo! That's great.. deep thought there! I absolutely love your last thought.. thank you for posting! Wendy

"Peaking" Retirement
by: Anonymous

I could have written the same thing (feelings and laments) I also like the quote.

I do imagine even those of us who have done much, seen much still feel after 'peaking' that we should have crammed as much doing in as we could.

That is why they say "Youth is wasted on the Young." We take those years for granted.
