I don't want to live my life looking backwards anymore, at could of's or should of's. Regret's and mistakes are a part of growing and learning. I choose now to watch the horizon, more than that, to watch the rising sun, and with all the knowledge that I've gained, I'll give each day the "new" me and look forward to happy and friendly faces. I'll reach out to them and share all that I have left. I'll give them all of the imperfect me and trust they will like me because I am continuing to grow. Beauty and youth fade like the evening twilight, in it's place comes the glowing wisdom and gentle light of the stars. Mourn this passing day only if you haven't lived it, for the new sunrises are precious and fleeting.
In the words of Ernest Hemingway
"There are only three sports, race car driving, bull fighting, and downhill skiing. Everything else is just a game."

I sold my house in Erie, PA. two years ago, eventually buying a motor home, and set out to find America. I spent this last winter skiing in the New England states, finally winding up in New Mexico and Colorado. In all, I visited over 30 resorts. I retired from serious golf with a 12 handicap, and now spend the summer months assisting my many friends and family, and getting involved in their various projects. I still like to work, but a sincere "thank you" is far better than all the money I ever earned.
So in your travels, look for me just over the next hill, stop and rest awhile. We will look at the world and listen to it grow, and I'm sure we will both learn something new.
