Inevitability of Time

It seems like I blinked and another year passed.61,how could that be? Someone said why isn't your hair gray ? I said it was on the inside. Most likely in 20 years there will be no more birthdays.It is not a sad thought it is just the way it is.We see a preview of things to come in our parents eyes.

In my mind there is no way I am 61 but my left knee begs to differ some days.I never thought about "drawing" social security until a few months ago.The other day eating out with a friend of mine the young waitress asked if we wanted the senior discount.After a few moments of awkward silence we both agreeded that we did. Guess there are some advantages of getting older after all.

It's sad it takes so long but with age one comes to understand how the inevitability of time adds beauty to the moment.
