For As Long

as I can remember I’ve lived for the day. I never was big on plans, short or long term. Then when I was 23ish I was told I wouldn’t make it to 25. That just cemented my lifestyle. Bucket list? Never had one! If I thought of one, I experienced it. I rinsed and repeated if it was fun, tried hard to not replay the bad ones. Seize The Moment right!?

So here I am decades older but this time I’ve run out of luck. The living for the day attitude seems to have become a double edged sword. How do you maintain a strong will to live when you’ve already lived all there is to live for? It’s rather like wearing out one toy, then buying an identical one. No joy in that. Not for me anyway.

So? What’s next for me I ask myself. Often.
