Milestones

LL

Well LL your day has arrived again - that song springs to mind , 'When I'm Sixty Four'.

Thirteen years since you made your fateful decision. Fourteen if I go back to 2004. Fateful it most certainly was. You sealed your fate back then. Consigned to a life of weekend travels and with about two exceptions, vacations in the same old places.

The alternative was basically a case of the world is yours and your oyster.

They say you should play to your strengths. That is exactly what I did. Those strengths/interests - business, investment, photography, travel, languages, the written word and, of course, women. I made loads of money from most and great pleasure from all...especially the last interest.

A few months down the line I hit a milestone too, but the difference is that I don't look my age. That has been confirmed by quite a few discerning people. On the other hand, in your case, you have let your weight slip enormously (an appropriate word!) No doubt due to all that eating and drinking and lack of exercise. Then there's the fashion. Quite old hat isn't it, but governed by your weight no doubt.

You are back to where you were just before we met all those years ago. Having slimmed down rapidly leaving stretch marks. The difference this time is that you are fifteen years older. As I have already said, if I didn't know you, I wouldn't give you a second look these days.

I have some traumatic things happening over here, not to me but to Ash. We are saying our prayers for  her.
