Mortality.....?

So - I'm currently recovering from a massive hamstring tear, which happened from a perhaps ill-advised return to competitive basketball. Genuinely horrific, and I haven't been able to exercise properly since early April, which shits me... Evidently I have to accept I'm 44, not 24!!!! Anyway, I was talking with some mates over a few beers the other day, and it was mentioned to me that I am probably closer to the end of my life than to the start! Stopped me in my tracks, I can tell you now. It's been said that the majority of people live lives of 'quiet desperation'. Or, as the bad guy in Highlander said, 'it's better to burn out than fade away.' On reflection, I'm really glad I've been able to truly live my life, rather than just exist. And I can tell you I intend to continue that, as it's probably a bit optimistic to think I'll get to 88!!!! Ha! So many people get to their golden years wishing they'd done this, that or the other thing. (And yes RHP is one of them!) I'm satisfied that I won't be one of them. Anyone else had similar experiences? I have a feeling this could be interesting..... I am still 24 dammit!!!!!!- Posted from rhpmobile
