in my prime
as much as i loved my long adventure in NYC, i am very happy to be back again, sleeping in my own bed and enjoying the much greener landscapes of Los Angeles. i'm happy that i didn't completely miss the blooming of the jacarandas, possibly one of my favorite events of spring.
and i'm happy to be another year older and still feeling quite sprightly. i'm having a very minor surgical procedure tomorrow, and during my pre-operative visit this morning, the surgeon noticed i'd just had a birthday. "congratulations!" she told me. "you must be happy to be in your prime right now."
huh. in my prime? well...i think i first thought i was "in my prime" about 15 years ago. the world was very shiny and full of possibilities. then i thought i'd hit my prime about 7 or 8 years ago. the world was even more exciting and i was young and full of energy. now, pondering Dr. Tom's comment, i realise that i agree: i still think i'm in my prime, and yes, the world is still a big adventure chest with lots of drawers still waiting to be opened. i'm still young & full of energy...
...although i really wish i could still stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. and live on 5 hours of sleep without feeling like i got hit by a truck. ah well.
