Normally, I wouldn't address the New Decade with a question mark. Approaching "SeniorLand", I do wonder. In the past few years, I've seen so many young people leave this life, much more than when I was growing up and the occasional accident happened and took a young life and mostly older folks got their age related or lifestyle diseases, and died in their 70's or 80's. But, NOW, you never know. We recently had a younger member of the family to develop such problems, so quickly, that vital organs began to shut down, and infections set in, and wouldn't or couldn't respond to antibiotics, she died at the tender age of 34. She left behind a wonderful husband and two beautiful young boys, that, now must go on without their loving mother. She wasn't "kind" to her body, but, it goes to show that we can certainly be here one day and taking life for granted, and the next day, be gone...forever. Life OVER. It seems like when I hit mid 40's, I started thinking about this, and now, that I am almost 52, I am really thinking about it..I'm definitely closer to my Life's end, rather than the beginning. Guess, it's time to THINK about it, huh?. My mother just had a 79th Birthday, other than a few minor things, she was very healthy until age 74, when it was discovered she had heart blockages, and Triple ByPass was performed. It changed her life..or she allowed it, not sure which. She became a totally diff. person after her surgery. Will talk more about it later. Point being, I really don't know WHO will survive this decade...So, will do some more thinking about THAT.
Happy New Year!!
