You're young- you have plenty of time. Life is a great experiment. Hindsight is great. Your Life has just begun. There is no experartion date. You have a lot to look forward to. When your number is up; it's all a matter of fate. You are too young to have regrets. The best has yet to come.

I too have not long turned thirty and realized that have a finite time left to do whatever it is I am going to do. Thanks for expressing this so well.

... this is quite outstanding JPP, an excellent write.....

...jeff, how do you spell thirties, or thirtys...ya see how you confuse me with this tiny writing about 30 year olds...i, i, i don't remember?, joking of course, i do see this as another good, great jaunt into your poetic ability...love the line breaks and message, shhhheeeesh. don't wanna tawk too much about expiration dates unless it's milk...funny how 63 causes that, harrumph!
