How old is to old?

Well tonight is Saturday night and I am sitting here having a small taste and thinking. The thought came to my mind how old is to old? How old does one have to be before they get to thinking that they are to old? Is it a state of mind or is it physical? Gosh these questions sorta mess up my mind. Then as I took another small sip of my Jack and coke another thought came floating by. Does age really matter? Isn't age just a way of keeping score? When you ask a child or a teenager how old they are, generally they will say I will be so old on my next birthday. Then when they get to be adults, the age thing is I am twenty-nine, they resist adding the other year. When you get to be my age you revert to your childhood, you tell people that you are 75 when that is the birthday that is coming up.

What difference does age make. It is what you make of it, I have seen some real dummies that have been here a long time. On the other hand I have seen some real smart kids. So age and wisdom do not necessarily go hand in hand. The only real drawback to aging is that you lack the physical strength and agility that you were blessed with in your younger days. I speak from experience on these matters as I now have to get a pair of pliers to open my Jack Daniel's bottle. When before I could just rip that cap off and be pouring in a second. Now I have to find the darn pliers before I can get it open.

What I am trying to say is you can never be to old to dream. It may take you a little longer for the dreams to be fulfilled, but if you stay focused you can do it. There will be obstacles in your way, but then there would be problems if you were nineteen. The thing that one should do is attempt what you are dreaming. Do not sit around gripe, complain and say if I was younger I would do that. Get up off your fanny and try, time might run out on you and the dream is not finished but you were trying. Don't let the excuse that I am to old to try stop you.

With all that said, I will stop tonight and leave this one thought with you. You are the one that decides if you are to old. You can decide to quit and not try but God has the final answer. He knows when you are to old.
