I Press On in Life After 60

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own

....Ah, yes, the lengths one will go through to make something their own. I have always maintained that if a person wants something bad enough, they will find a way to over come any obstacle that stands in their way. And I am no exception. Matter a fact, I am probably the rule!

Many times it is not something I need, but rather something I want. I get new car fever about every two years. And in the past 5 years, I have found a cure each time. (I am one year out from having it strike again) Nothing wrong with my previous cars mind you, I just got the new car fever.

Perhaps, in my case, it is a weakness, a sickness maybe just like an alcoholic who has to have that next drink but denies there is a drinking problem. Or that low life who abuses his wife or children and then says he is sorry and it won’t happen again, only to repeat the abuse over and over. (too extreme maybe?)

And then there is love. The waters get murky around this subject for me. You see, I apply the same rule to every aspect of my life…If I want something, (or in this case, someone) bad enough, I will find a way. And the love I want, technically belongs to another. (Just on paper, the relationship ended years ago, but that is a different story.) So I press on..to make it my own!

And it may come back to bite me one day, but as the old saying goes, the heart wants what the heart wants.
