The End of the Years
As another year comes to a close I reflect back on the years past and anticpate the new year with, in many cases, the same hopes and dreams. Many years have passed and I tend to forget my advancing age. I am not old by any means but I am no longer a 20 or 30 year old anymore.
It seems with the passing of every day that becomes more and more apparent. Being single the biggest reminder is when I see a pretty young girl and think hmmm!!! Then reality slapps me in the face. The truth is in the eyes of others I am an old, overweight man that no woman that age would be interested in. I digress however because I don't intend this post to be a bunch of negative bs. I can depress myself just fine with out pushing it on any one else. I intended this to be more of a reflection of passing years.
In an attempt to make this more positive the years have had one positive note. I am speaking of course of my grand children. As they age and become more aware of who I am and where I fit into their lives they are a constant source of joy. It's a love unlike what you have with children. One of the few sources of pure love that anyone can experience.
I was sitting here and started reflecting on how people from the past can have an effect on your life with out even trying and how others who should have a positive effect don't. I won't go as far as naming names not that it would matter in this forum but it is what it is. Things like musical taste that influence your own to, the selfishish of a influenceual person that should be supportive but is not because they are to busy thinking only of themselves. It hurts to think of that person that way but in the light of day that is truly what it is. I hate to end on this note but it is where I have to decided to
