Taste Buds in Life After 60

I am amazed by how my taste have changed. You pick a category and it has pretty much changed. I am not sure why, but things I used to like I no longer care for. The area in which I find this change to be the greatest is in my friends. People I grew up with and ran around with now wouldn’t even be on my radar. So much for friends.
If I was 40 I would think it was middle age crazy. But at my age perhaps it is just crazy. I see folks I used to have a close relationship with and now think, what did I ever see in you? And I am sure they do the same. Oh, I have some fond memories but I wouldn’t want to spend much time with them today.
I am not about to go as far as to say I have matured. I really refuse to grow up, but growing old, I can’t help. However, I am reminded of millions who never had that chance. So, in a way, growing old, with all its bad side effects is still better than the alternative. The best advice I can give you, don’t take life too seriously, after all, we will not get out of it alive.
