Morning Reflections

 LIFE IS SHORT...  or, so it seems.  As we get older, each days seems to get shorter, when in reality it just moves by faster, basically because we are busy...  and, do not take the time to reflect upon its passing.

• At 25 years of age, we look back and wonder what took us so long to get here.
• At 40 years of age, we feel that we will probably live another 40 years.
• At 50 years of age, we can no longer double our age and begin to wonder if we can accomplish all that we set out to do.
• At 60 years of age, our physical body and sometimes our minds begin to betray us, as we experience health issues.
• At 70 years of age (67 for some) we see the need to retire unless we are not experiencing any work related issues, then we work as long as we can.
• At 80 years of age, we see each additinal year as living on borrowed time, even though some of us will live well into our 90s.

The common theme here is that time passes by quickly but we don't think about it until it is half over...  which is probably good because it keeps us from needless worrying.

Wars can end a life early as can illegal drugs, car accidents, and unexpected illnesses.  Most of us don't think about that unless it happens to us, a family member, or a close friend.  We are oblivious to the fragility of life.
