The Tape Measure!!!

The hubs told me a story...one I have never heard before.

It was so profound, I must share it here.

My posts are not generally "wordy", I think this one will be but for me,

so worth the read.

 

Go and get a tape measure, a nice long Stanley Tape Measure.

Stretch it out, and lock it in...
to the number in which you think you will live until.

For most people, the average age is 76, so you can start there if you like.

Or just pick "your" ending age and lock it in.

I used 76, 76 is 6 and 1/2 feet.

As you look at the out stretched tape measure, view that as your life.

 

Whatever number you choose, each inch is one year of your life.

Next, look for your current age.

I am 56, so from 1 - 56 is gone, forever, that was my life so far.

My future, is what's left of the tape measure.

 

I was unable to view the beginning of the tape measure...

in fact, most of that part of my "life" is not visible.

 

What I could see, is what I have left.

Some might say, it's almost over, or that this is a sad story.

I say, I am glad I heard the tape measure story...

those inches I have left, are going to be awesome!!!
