Thank you so much @jaboUK . I was watching a commercial (don't remember for what) but the music and scenery in it was inspirational. I grabbed a pen and paper and this is what came out.

@LadyDuck . . . Yeah, it was like only yesterday that I was young and restless . . . now I am old - - though feeling young still within the innermost recesses of my "vintage" heart.

You never know what will happen tomorrow so enjoy all the today's that you have. Enjoy life and ignore others who want to put you down for no reason.

It took very long time to ignore others opinion finally I learnt live in this moment, and then I felt that I am growing as an individual.

Wonderful poem! This kind of describes me about a month ago when I was going through a hard time because I am 60.

@nanette64 I am so sorry to hear that about the EKG and your health issues. My Mom and her brother both had heart disease. They had to have open heart surgery. So far I have been very lucky and must take after my father's side of the family. I pray that all goes well with the stress test. Please keep us updated

@simone10 Thank you; I am a little scared. I spent 4 hours in the ER yesterday morning because I felt dizzy and nauseous. They said my BP was 150/63 and I had an oxygen level of 97%. Now how that could be I don't know. They put me on a Nebulizer and that seemed to help.

I can understand @simone10 . I just found out at the doctors when they did an EKG that I have Ischemia (the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen and there's not enough blood going to the heart muscle because of narrowing or blockage of 1 or more of the coronary arteries). I also have Coronary Artery Disease. I have to take a stress test on 10/4 to determine the severity of the issue. Hopefully the stress test doesn't cause a heart attack.

Well, my only regret is I have not met lots of beautiful, friendly women like you when I was still young and restless! Why?! Because all work, no play when I was young.

. . . Wonderful poem!

Especially at our age @just4him . It's funny how when you're 17 time can't go fast enough and the next thing you know, you're 40. Then you jump to 60 and wish you were 17 again.

@nanette64 So true. I see those 17 year olds and wish I could move as easily as they do. Age is mean, but at least I'm doing well despite age related woes.

This is very nice . It says all . How time really flies ! I guess when we are enjoying life it passes so fast . But for those times when we were struggling , it seems so slow , but the moment we passed that it speeds up again .

Your poem made me think of people I see jogging by with headphones on, totally oblivious to the sounds of a dove taking off, a cat asking them for a scratch, the wind in the trees, and an oncoming car piloted by a distracted driver. Carpe diem!

Oh exactly @TheHorse . Seize the Day. One of the things I love the most about living out in the country is the smell and the sounds. So many times I just sit on my porch and take it all in. I especially love a night with a full moon, soft breeze blowing and watching the stars.
