Exactly forty years ago, life was simple, carefree and fun. Sure, my friends and I were forty solid years younger, had little artificial objects in our bodies like dental implant, artificial hip or knee, and all genuinely thought that we would last forever and that our manufacturers' warranty wasn't ready to run out any time soon.
We didn't look a bit like our parents that were already “old”, not longer “got it,” and would have been chocked if we had been shown pictures of us today. This would have been totally impossible to even imagine! Out of the group, there was only one baby girl, today there are 9 children and 3 grand kids.
Time appeared to be going much slower then, there were no smart phones, internet or global warming, money was not really a concern and fun was front and center. Someone should have warned us that these were the simplest, easiest years of our existence, and as a result we let them slip by without really savoring them as we should have and paying full attention.
This is probably a strong reason why today, the remaining time we've got should receive our utmost respect and undivided focus!
