More focused than ever at 60!
I was sick as a dog with a nasty flu weeks ago and, brought to my knees, I went through a paradigm shift.
I decided I never want to waste another healthy moment.
I started eating healthier than ever. I exercise daily. I go for walks with Thurber.
I turn in at a decent hour, so I wake refreshed at 5:40 every morning ready to dive into the new day.
All I want to do now is write well, read great literature and learn how to love better, give back more, laugh harder and spend every moment with people I love as though it were the last moment I had to live.
Maybe it’s time to alter Pratchett’s clever quote:
“Inside every old person is a wiser person trying to make great things happen with whatever God-given time he has left!”
