It’s Not So Far After All

I am suddenly in my 60s, I wasn’t expecting it so soon.

When we are in our early twenties, youth gives us an optimistic look at the future and the 60s are SO FAR AWAY.

If you marry young, like I did, your 50th Anniversary is SO FAR AWAY.

Here you are in your 60s and you think, “Oh, shit. It’s not SO FAR AWAY, after all.”
