Your Future?

Your Future?

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about my future because I'm having such a good time with my present. At seventy, I know shit is going to happen to me. That doesn't mean it will be bad shit. I prefer to think it will good shit even if there is some bad shit mixed in.

For example, I have a bad neck and a bad back. I've lived with it most of my life. I got it from my father, but he also gave me a beautiful mind, a great sense of humor and the benefits of always trying to do the right thing. Sooo, who cares if my back hurts all the time and I can't completely turn my head - I'm loving life just the same.

There is little doubt that in the future my back will get worse. Probably I'll also start having trouble with my knee or hip. However, I truly believe that those body parts are just the bumpers. As long as my engine and transmission are healthy, I can deal with the pain. Therefore, even if my body betrays me, I'm still going to have a great future.

Someone asked me would I want to give up on life if, in the future, I became a paraplegic. My answer was as serious as a hard bowel. As long as I have my brain intact I can create. I can write and blog. I can laugh and enjoy the love around me. I can continue to enjoy the great food my wife makes. I can still enjoy a beautiful sunset.

You see, the future is bright for all of us. Computers, electronic devises of all kinds (like virtual reality devices) and medicine are getting better every year we live. Scientists are find ways to give you quality of life even if you get a serious disease. The longer into the future we can live the better chance of having good quality of life. 

Some would say that I'm ignoring the chance of war, drought, global warming, etc. etc. I say to them: "what's it your business?" I'm practical, those things may happen in the future, but, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN IN MINE OR YOUR FUTURE! Even it does happen; it's stupid to worry about it NOW!

Go to bed tonight and close your eyes and think two thoughts. One, how lucky you are to have your present and two, how even better your future will become.

Your Future Is No Longer A Question-Mark. 

It's Going To Be Fabulous!
