young at heart...

We jumped on the Netflix bandwagon last week and between what comes in the mail and what we can see on the Wii, certainly getting our money's worth.

Last night it was Young At Heart. DH said I was on my own - code for he wasn't interested but he stayed and got hooked in the first few minutes. The average age of the chorus members is 80. The idea was to watch these old people sing rock and roll. No other way to say it and it so works.

You get to see their up and downs. From trying to learn lyrics to sharing each other's health issues. They have a focus on life that one can't imagine until you are there. Some things, you have to wait for. The path you are on is yours, no matter how long or short but the reality is, if you live to a ripe, old age - there are different lessons to learn and sorrows to endure.

Like it or not, life is divided up into sections. Even though the human heart tells us we want the whole Shebang, we will not all get wyat we want. Lives cut short, never getting married, having children or grandchildren. In our own way, we all barter with God for more time... what young at heart taught me was that that goal never goes away. Just a few more years, we ask in our golden years. Some things never change...
