The Faithfulness of TIME

Most everyone is equal in that how much time they have to live their lives on earth...  and, on average, that's been about 80 years or so, although there are reports of being living well into their 90's...  and, this also takes into consideration living with or without serious illnesses and/or diseases like heart attack, cancer, diabetes, COPD, or Parkinson's just to name a few.

Not everyone will ever contract these diseases and they are fortunate that they will never have to experience the side effects of the treatments that are keeping them alive.

But, for those of us who are living with the side effects of treatment, there is a different life entirely for us...  and, a life that is not always met with anger and resentment as much as it is with gratitude that we are still ABOVE GROUND.

At 73 years of age, one could easily say that one's life is almost over in that it is closer to death than it is to one's birth...  and, if there are 100 years on the clock for me then almost 75% of my life has passed; whereas, if there are only 80 years on the clock then, 91% of my life has passed.  Numbers does a much better job of putting things into perspective than age.

However, I like to think that I have a good 20 years left to live even with all my illnesses.

ONLY TIME WILL TELL...
