LOVING LIFE

I went to Texas this past weekend with my cousin,Lin.  Her grandson and his friend went with us.  They are teenagers and eat every two hours.  You must feed them or they get nasty, kinda of like a wild animal. The only thing they eat is junk.  There are exactly 32 McDonald's between here and our destination in Texas.

My elderly parents don't hardly eat at all except about two times a day and it is usually just crackers and cheese.  My cousin and I eat about every four hours and eat a regular balanced meal.  So I have come to the conclusion that eating habits do change.  The young can eat what they want and must every two hours,  the middle age eat sensible, which is what we should have been doing when we were young.  The elderly eat very little and not very often,  either because they don't remember to eat or are just tired of trying to think of something to eat. 

So I quess I will have to wait at least another 20 years before I eat like a bird.  I just hope that I am able to feed myself at that time.

I have a friend who is only 63 and has been diagnosed with dementia.  It is really sad that you work 40 years, raise your family and plan your future and then your future is gone.  It should remind us to not take everyday for granted and live everyday with vigor and appreciation.   Always tell you family you love them, you never now when you won't be able to.


Never take anything for granted, we don't know how long of a life we have or what our future will bring.
