I have lived to be 80, that is quite a privilege, not everyone does.
This morning I took the trash our of the trash can and tied the red tie, and put it out the door to be taken down to the dumpster. Then I put in a new nice clean red handled trash bag. I got to wondering, how many times have I done that. I generally get the big box, and I don't know how many times I have wondered to myself, "I'll probably never have to buy these again." Yet, I keep buying them.
Toilet paper, same thing.The big package, 24 rolls, last time to buy these, but I keep on buying them.
Many times I have thought that I was doing something for the last time. Always wondering what the future holds for me;
I remember hearing George Younce, a beloved gospel singer, in the introduction to a song stated, "I know I have many more years behind me than I do ahead." I know how many years I have behind me, but the future is always questionable, not jut for me, for everyone.
I am getting ready to go vote, I wonder what the future holds for our country. I have lived through many presidents, 15 to be exact. The world, and our country, seem to survive. FDR is the first President I remember, hearing him on the old Philco Radio. I think the voice projects so much more than an image. I can still hear his voice. I saw him once, in the back seat of a convertible, along with Charles Kettering and Orville Wright.
In my case, I have decided to not dwell on the past, but always consider the future. Whatever will be, will be. Kathy Lee and Hoda have the right idea, drink wine, do a TV show, talk a lot, which they both do well, and make a lot of money. How great is that?
