Age aint nuthing but a number...Or is it?

Age is a number which puts us in chronological order of time.  Age does not have to dictate how old we feel or act.I do not feel any age yet. There is no age to the spirit. I am sitting here in my Kitchen looking out the window, not looking at anything in particular.. the birds, ducks leaves falling, my 5 yr old granddaughter reminded me to look at the leaves changing colors. While i was sitting in the chair, I am aware that 3 other chairs is empty. I thought back when one was not empty a friend use to sit there. It crosses my mind everytime i sit there, that how is it two people can be so different. I mean our lives took off in a whole other direction.what a difference 30 yrs makes. I had known him when i was in my twenties, we broke up and never to look back untill 3 yrs ago i called him up..thinking that we can catch up and pick up where we left off. but people change and so the thier way of living. He had a head full of gray hair..he didnt look his age but older. I didnt know if i should run or was I afraid of getting old. He is 15 yrs older than me. But i figure appearance don't mean nothing. but as we got into the relationship. I notice that as time went on, he stood still. He just didnt changed with the times. It was like teaching a child to grow up. This was a experience for me, because i keep up with the here and now, try to know everything.  Clearly he was way behind the times. I think he had a problem with me thinking I know everything. It wasnt that, It was just that I knew enough. I taught him a lot of things he should have known. He use to be so upset when i throw outdate stuff away. If i got a headache i dont want to take otc meds that has expired. he had tons of stuff that i just dump in the trash, I dont know if he ever got over that.. Really it was a challenge. Most people would say, well at least he is home you know where he's at, he dont do nothing ,,,Thats not what i want my life to be about..We were different, but alike in different areas.. But I blamed it on the age difference.But that can't be true when i see some older men be on it..I chalk it up to sorry. He dont want to do anything.. So i ran out of patience and we parted ways..I say all of that to say this: Life is too short. If you are not happy with a situation, get out of it, stop trying to make it work. learn from it and move on. If in your heart you are yearning for something more, follow your heart. because your present situation wont change. We spend half our lives just trying to make thing work out. Please believe this: No amount of sizzle will make a bad steak good
