“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” Satchel Paige a legend in baseball as a relief pitcher said that and it gets a man a thinking. Satchel’s career went on and on and on and on.
I love that quote. Supposing our date of birth didn’t give us away.? Sometimes now when I am out making a presentation I feel like the guy in that song singing, “I’m just a kid again, doin’ what I did again, singing a song. When the red, red robin comes a bob bob bobbin’ along.” At that time I am light on my feet and energized. And sometimes when I am walking up a hill I feel like Methuselah, the man reported in the Hebrew Bible to have lived the longest at age 969.
I’m learning that it all has to do with talents and the proper use of those talents in the service of others.
So how old am I? Well, just a few moments ago when I was sitting at my computer staring at a blank page I was feeling very old but now as I am about to proofread this this newsletter I am feeling much younger. [1]
