Life gets mighty precious when there’s less of it to waste.

My Dad always used to say “too soon old, too late smart.” Seems more true with every passing year.

Buddy of mine used to say, when we’re young we check for ‘phone, wallet, keys’ before leaving home. When we’re old it’s ‘phone, wallet, keys, zipper.’ I might add ‘glasses.’
