Retirement-It's Only A Matter of Time!

"Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug." Jon Lithgow

While travelling between Grand Bahama and Abaco recently, I had the pleasure of rekindling acquaintances and renewing friendships. I was able to spent time with persons whom I hadn’t seen in years. I was excited for the opportunity to see and share with each of them but there was one thing that stood out to me. How much most of my friends had changed since the last time I had seen them.

I was now seeing them in a way that I hadn’t seen them before। They were now much older and it showed not only in the colour of their hair but also in the frailness of their bodies। Then I realized that it was only a matter of time before all of us no matter whether we were born yesterday or today will eventually experience these same tranformations। We are all getting older and weaker; and headed to a time where the things we were once able to do with ease will become extremely difficult for us as our lives begins to slow down। All of us, if we live long enough will experience the meaning of the expression “once a man and twice a child.” It’s only a matter of time!
