Forget the wrinkles, the graying hair or the fading memory. As you near your 40's, you suddenly look up from your mundane life only to realize, that life and the small pleasures you once took for granted aren't the same anymore.
People whom you could turn to for advise are no available most of the time. Slowly but surely the thought sinks into you that you have grown old and the set of friends that were once around have moved on, while you continue to cling onto them. Once among a bevy of friends, now there are none when you need advice on a decision or have an overflowing cup of sorrow to share.
Those pals that still exist are too busy with their lives, with their children, and most importantly very busy in working towards ensuring their family's financial security. They have no time even Saturdays and Sundays to even attend phone calls leave alone meeting old pals. Those that remain are strictly the 9-am-to-5-pm-type pals. These are types one would never dare to call after office hours even if one is lying on the death bed.
Well, dear blog considering that I have realized that none of the friends have the time or patience, I will frequent you more often. Hopefully we will have a more endearing relationship unlike the ones I presently share with some humans. :)
