HELP!!! I’m 27 years
old and trapped in a 66 year old body!
A fat, balding, out of shape 66 year old body! What Happened??? Today is
my 66th birthday, but I don’t remember having about 30 of them, so
can I subtract that 30 from the total number?
If so, that would help a lot.
I’ve never really observed my birthdays unless someone else
just wanted to make a big deal out of it.
And as a result, I’ve often not known my actual age unless I did some
math, but in recent years, people have started reminding me of my age. Why do they do that? If I don’t really care about it, why should
they? I guess I’ve managed to survive
longer that they wanted me to. Maybe
that’s the answer to my question.
Sorry. I plan to be here for
many more years, so get used to it.
Birthdays are a bit odd to me. I could never understand why someone would want to celebrate the
march to the end by ticking off the years.
I had rather enjoy life and count the memories instead of the
years. And I have a lot of
memories. If you the reader have
examined my previous writings, you will probably agree with me that I’ve had
many great (and not so great) experiences, and I’m planning to add many more.
I was talking to a gentleman recently at the Long Beach
Casting Club about the idea of counting memories instead of years, and he said
to me, “If a person can’t count memories, all that is left is to count the
years.”
My reply was, “Everyone has memories, just think about
them. Focus on where this journey has
taken you and where you still want to go.
The years don’t matter. It’s the
journey that counts.” And I really do
mean that. Every day is borrowed time,
so I can choose to enjoy each one, or I can waste my time worrying about how
few days may be left.
Today is just another day for me, but several restaurants
have decided I need to experience a free (or discounted) meal to celebrate my
birthday, so I will indulge a few of them.
My wife and I, along with the neighbor’s dog Biggie, will find the
restaurants with a dog friendly patio, and we will share a good time. We will make new memories, and within a few
days we will have forgotten completely that the memories were made on my
birthday.
