A Whole Lifetime Away

     Today is my birthday and I turned 66. How do I feel you ask? No different than I did when I turned 26 or 36. Yes, my body moves a bit slower and I have a few aches and pains but no different. Back when I was 26, 66 seemed a lifetime away and unimaginable. But, here I am, a whole lifetime away.

Transitioning

         Last year at this time I had a nasty fall in January and dislocated my shoulder. I had to have surgery to repair it. While it was healing my doctor discovered I had done damage to an already damaged lower back. It's taken a whole year to get my life back. But now, I'm not quite sure how much of it I actually want back. While sitting around for months on end healing, I had so much time to reflect on my life and the direction it was going in. Right now, at this very moment, I am transitioning but I don't know what direction it's taking me in.
