Life is like walking up a hill.... when you are young... you watch the rising hill.... life is full of opportunity... everywhere you look is an abundance of time... and slowly, unknowingly... you reach the apex of your life... you say, "huh? that's it?".... From that point on, life is all down hill... until the final day of termination. If you haven't been there, you will be. And if you have already been there, it's too late now.
Maybe I'm lamenting for a life wasted.... but it's also possible I'm lamenting for the shopping opportunity lost during the last Christmas Sales... if it's the later, it will come up again... but it will never be the same... never the same...
