At my age i figure i am on my last train ride so am going to take each day at a time and savor every moment. Be it ever small, large or confusing. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow not here yet and today is here. Going to start doing a few bucket list things. Have had some relatives who lived to be late 90's to 100's.

I'm constantly in a survival mode. My life started out being born crippled. Had several other life survival issues. But I thank God I'm still alive. I owe God and excellent surgeons for still being alive today.

Waking up and thanking the Lord that you did and sharing your life with your soulmate. I did but unfortunately he passed away. Our time together was wonderful.
