We are Young (Fun)

    I had an epiphany the other day.  Somewhere between counting the greys that seem to be creeping up on my curly haired head and analyzing my lack of retirement funds...I realized that I am the youngest that I will ever be.  Let me say this again.

I. Am. The. Youngest. I. Will. Ever. Be.

I
am
the
youngest
I
will
ever
be.

The youngest I will ever be....I am.

Soy el más joven que nunca será.

I am drifting in a sea of ships celebrating four decades.  One by one we are sinking...into mid-life crises.  We are throwing in towels and hiking our pants to some crazy heights.  Actually, I have to say my peeps are aging quite gracefully...but we are still mere babies.  The life expectancy has to be up to 100 or so by now with all of this modern medicine, right?!?  Alright, maybe not...but come on.  Think about it.  Today....this day...this moment...you are the YOUNGEST you will ever be.  If you start to think this way there just might be a shift.  A shift to live life with a sense of exuberance.  With just a touch of wild abandon...whatever your "crazy" might be.  Maybe it's mild...but it is still YOUR "yeehaw" moment and nobody can steal that with their judgement.
     Now, I am not saying we should be irresponsible or that we should shrug the duties of adulthood...please, there is nothing more annoying than a "stuck" adult...but don't put one leg in the grave either.  Our forties are supposed to be when we really come into our own.  Find our voices.  So find it and let it sing!  Each day is a ticking clock in which we grow older but if you use this as a metronome to live...the music can be wonderful.  Look at it from one direction and you can grow sad and tired...or look at it the other way and start to feel YOUNGER.  The choice is yours.  I know which approach I'm going with! 
     It's the beginning of a weekend.  A weekend in which you will be the youngest you will ever be...LIVE LIKE IT!!!!
