Birthday droop

July 8th was my 45th birthday and I must say its got me kinda down I don't want to get old and crippled up I will go kicking and screaming all the way.. Why does age
effect us so much.. heck I remember 21 like it was just a couple of years ago.. What the heck happened.. I BLINKED.... My kids are grown, my grandbabies are growing like
weeds and people are dying all around me.. This makes me want to start my bucket list
for sure...there is so many things I've yet to see and do.. but yet I seem to be
speeding up with momentum towards the grave... If its a roller coaster I want off now... I feel like for the most part my life has gone by uneventful...(SIGH)
