Wow, this hits home…

I’m 67. My wife and I have been together for 40 years. We have been fortunate, we still work out together, but the gym is now yoga, long walks, and bike rides.

I worked in hospitality, but left after Covid - the industry I loved, was broken, and it was then that I realized I no longer had the patience to try and rebuild an industry I loved; so I retired.

Since then I have published two books (fiction), but have found everything is taking more effort. Working memory, the day to day stuff is hit or miss. At my last physical I had a function health blood test that showed I had all four of the genes necessary for Alzheimer’s!

My oldest daughter just gave us a grandson, I wander now how much time I will have left to give him, and so I now I have doubts, which is also new. I always had a plan, and always worked the plan, doubt was not an option.

So I’ll leave you with the old adage -

Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, but today is a gift…

That’s why it’s called the present!
