In the autumn of our life, we think on life's many lessons learnt, mainly by getting it wrong at first, I remember a quote of a friend of mine "Americans first try every other way before finding the right way" ... he was an Australian, their well known for their 'tell it like it is' - having a less than diplomatic way with words! Actually I found I'm a bit like that Auzzi too! Anyhow, here I am in England in the UK, retired after my 49 years of working life (I finished school at 15) a lot of the time seemed to be a bit of a rat-race, now it seems I need to think about spending some quality time with the limited time I have left, I guess I'd be blessed if I still have more than 10% of my life left now I'm 65!
I don't particualy want to think of death, so I'll deal with that another day!
But I like the quote from comedian/writter; Spike Milligan, when asked what he'd like written on his tombstone, he said just write "I told you I was ill"!
I had a near death road accident when I was in my late 30's and it makes you more aware of life around you, the beauty of colours in the all natural surroundings, Sky, Plants, Creatures, people, and so many things.
At the age of 47 I found Christian teaching the true meaning of love in a life, and at 65 I continue to have a hope and a direction, being led by the Lord of my salvation, Jesus, to be a keeper of the faith and share my many blessings with others in this Wonderful Life we have been given, thanks God.
