Daily writing prompt
Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?

I wouldn’t.

While I hope to die with the words “It’s been fun” on my lips, I also look back and consider myself blessed to have made it this far. God knows, there’s been plenty of chances for me to cash in my insurance policy.

I haven’t verified this (I don’t tend to go to class reunions) but this is what I heard. I graduated from a High school class of 166 people. There’s 41 of us left. Or so I hear.

The smart money said I would be among the first to die because of my former professions.

Instead, I’m among the last of the survivors. And the shape I’m in, I just might make it to be the last one standing.

So, no, thank you. I went through too much hassle to get here.
