Getting Seasoned (short one today)

I love older people.  They have the best stories.

I wanna get to that age where, when I reminisce about some of the things I used to do, I leave young people in awe.  "Dang, you used to do that?"

But it means, once again, gotta take of myself.  Doctor's office again.  Sigh...

But I'm happy that I did.  May have averted a problem before it became one.  I am doing what is necessary to prevent it from going any further, thereby avoiding the "terminal" diagnosis.

All in an effort to make it to 100.  (Yes, I plan on being here for a century.)

Gotta make more changes.

But it's part of the seasoning process....so Imma marinate over here and do this for me and my 3 babies (1 niece, 2 nephews).

So I can tell them stories of survival, of peace, of hardwork, of happiness and joy, hard times and tears, but most of all: how I LIVED.
