50 MORE TO GO

I love music.  Once in a while a new song I hear strikes a chord in my heart.   A song by Colin hay was one of those lovely chords.  

When I was married my husband said that we would live together till we were 103.  I'm 53 so that gives me 50 more to go.  No, in reality I don't plan on living to 103 & the next 50 will be on my own.  

Not really alone.  I have my CREATOR, my FAMILY, and my FRIENDS - Blessed for sure!

I'm walking in my old footsteps once again.

 Plan on making the next 50 decades rich & full.

This is my rendition of meaning in his song:

 Youtube: Waiting for My Real Life to Begin - Colin Hay

Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down, down, down, on me

And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart
Let the light shine in
Jesus was when my real life began - Just have encountered some hiccups along the way

But don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
I'm learning daily who I am & understanding real life has always been.

When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon
I'm getting pretty good at being a dragon slayer :)

And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again
Returned back to my roots - Colorado girl

And you say, just be here now
Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin
Mask is thinner year by year - soon it will disappear - past doesn't haunt me anymore :)

Let me throw one more dice
I know that I can win
I'm waiting for my real life to begin


Any minute now, my ship is coming in
I’ll keep checking the horizon
When I went with my brothers from Oakland to Hawaii to scatter our Father's ashes I was struck by the vastness and loneliness of the ocean.   I knew that we would see land eventually.  My horizon is up ahead - just living day by day in the here and now.

And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call
It's gonna happen soon, soon, soon
It's just that times are lean

And you say, be still my love
Open up your heart, let the light shine in
Don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
