Bubble-wrapped memories –
days when travel was frequent,
wine poured freely,
fitness a given.
Even in those sun-soaked days
we were restless, unsatisfied…
not till health diminished
and money dried up
did we appreciate
the fragility
of those years.
(Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @Vjknutson. Image my own)
oof
Hindsight is, indeed, 20/20

I remember those days back when I was restless and unsatisfied. Now I cannot fathom why. You capture this all too common feeling well, VJ.
