What if.....?

"The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today."

~ Les Brown 

" It can't be over yet......I'm still breathing!"

As long as I open my eyes in the morning, there is always another opportunity.

This is pretty much the way I lead my life.

What if that's not true?

What if where I am today is as good as it gets?

What if it's wind down time?

What if ,in fact, it is the beginning of the end, the last chapter ?

This thought crept into my mind as I drove my bus through another rainy day earlier this week.

What if I am as good as I can be ?

What if I can no longer make a difference?

What if my "significance" has reached its apex?

Can I just slip into my easy chair and live with the resolve that this is okay?

These questions kept rattling around in my brain, intensifying the chill that was already in the air.

That chill started to creep way past my bones, heading directly to my sole.

It was frightening.

This,in my world, of course is unacceptable!

Still breathing....not done yet!
