Another one of them today ..........

I had another epiphany today, oddly enough, while shaving. I now know my identity, who I am, why I am here, it was all revealed to me .... in an image .... in the mirror. I looked, there I was, and I knew just who I was.
Remember watching a marathon, a long race, at the end line, the race was over .... long ago, but, there were still those out on the course, determined to finish, worn out, exhausted, but determined to finish. That is me, I am still out on the course, plodding along, no hope of winning, just finishing .... just waiting ...... to finish the race.

And that is me .... worn out .... exhausted, in some ways, no spurts of energy left, just plodding along.

I am not sure where the finish line is, or how far I am from it, I just know it is out there, somewhere, waiting for me to "cross over."

So. now you know just what it is like to "get old."

Just, finishing the race .............................
