Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
-Tom Cochran (1991)
The ranch hand had lunch with a valued friend of the last 30 years today.
The "talk" ranged along the lines of mutual acquaintances over the last three decades, unfathomable organizational changes at the employer we retired from, politics, grandkids, admired folks that had died, and just general all around masculine bull shit.
...and it was good; remembering old feelings, professional dedication, hurts, wrongs, victories, and the sublime?
God grants each person a "lifetime" of experiences, challenges, and opportunities.
All have choices at every juncture, at every age, and in every station in life.
When one achieves dotage, it is a true blessing if the calculation of positive performance in all things can at least match the burden of failures along life's highway.
