OLD STORY? THEY’RE ALL OLD STORIES THE OLDER YOU GET

December 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

May 9, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Who says, “Grow up and try to be age appropriate,” and who do they say it too? Your hair’s too long, your clothes don’t match, and you don’t smoke the same cigarettes as them. But that was a long time ago. Since 1966 we’ve learned how to find satisfaction.

REGRET FREE LIVING? OK BOOMER

May 7, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Regret free living is a goal to start out, then things change. One day anything is possible. The next? Not so much. Somehow we learn about our limitations, that we need to accept things as they are. But, correct me if I’m wrong, there’s still some wiggle room.
