I will never be at this age again

With a couple of months under my belt being age 70, Pierini Fitness finds himself a little more reflective than in years past.  I suppose it’s only natural as the clock tick tocks towards the end of my life.  Not that I’m obsessed that my life will end soon or suddenly, one never knows, but rather just acknowledging that I’ve lived more life than the life I have left to live.  If that’s not an eye-opener, I don’t know what is.

It's also a healthy reminder for me to get busy living my life to the fullest.  The mañana mantra or playbook no longer serves me well as it did when I was a young’un. 

Someone recently shared on a fitness discussion forum I sometimes frequent that his grandfather’s last words were “It's just yesterday, I was a boy".  Isn’t this so true and a good reminder that I have so many things to do and so little time to do them.  At some point, like I’ve jokingly questioned my mother, I’ve asked myself, “Are your suitcases packed?”

Blah, blah, blah, I could go on forever with idioms, similes, figures of speech and the like, in a circular loop like a dog chasing his tail, as I ponder the rest of my life, but one thing is true and that’s I will never be at this age again.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
