Old Age is not for the faint of heart

I was surprised to find things going wrong with me in my 60s already. Somehow I had in mind it wouldn't happen 'til in my 70s. Now I look at people who are in their 70s, and I think I don't like the looks of it. LOL!

That's why it is said that age increases but the heart remains young because experience is enough to live life.

Love the humor to contrast with the issues of trees and age

As we get older each year we have to keep our humor and our sanity

The tree that's gonna fall... there is a distinctive bend in that tree, below which there appears to be no bark at all. Was the bark decimated by woodpeckers, perhaps? I know the Pileated Woodpecker, at least, has been known to do that sometimes, completely stripping all the bark from a tree and the tree begins to die. Or was it something else that damaged the tree?

Hmm, there is so much sense in what you have written, sir. This one life of ours isn't for the faint-hearted. I'm sure as one is getting older, especially when someone is reaching a certain age, then you begin to wonder what is life is about and why we are here in the first instance and then you begin to question if you live a meaningful life and you made impact you ought to have made in people life.

The most scary part of it is when you the death comes, and this doesn't actually give a day nor give someone sign unless for those who are sick for a while before the death actually consume them.

I wish you a happy birthday, sir, and I hope you live long to witness a more meaningful existence.
