There's plenty of things i can't think of right now lol. The main one is there are less years of work ahead of me now. I love my career, but hey, i don't want to work forever. The point was to work until you have a comfortable and enjoyable retirement 
Retirement by a long shot. I just hope I a blessed with some good years to enjoy it.
well, theres...ummm, yeah, and theres.....you know.... oh yeah, that other thing..... crap.... ill be back when i know..................
If I'm looking feeble enough, the feed guy at Rural King will load my 50 pound bag of corn for me.
I've wondered about this aspect of aging, at least for myself. As a yute, many times I listened to the Bob Dylan song, "My Back Pages." The refrain of that song is, "But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." Although I didn't get it at the time, now I kinda do.
So today I don't know if I'm any wiser or have more wisdom, but I'm more open minded and willing to accept, as real, things I don't understand. I still question such things, but understand I may never understand. Maybe my Mom was right, she'd tell people I was an "old soul" and was never a kid. Maybe I'm going backwards.
ok, i think i can come up with a few now..........experiences, memories, friendships and acquaintances. adventures and paths taken...paths crossed that were there for a purpose....even if for nothing more but a moment in time. learning life and yet still learning more. knowing to see the answer of life i have to look outside the box ive been stuck in, and wondering how many times ive been on this merry-go-round to figure this much out so far............
maybe one day that wisdom part will kick in for me.
Duke, theres just something about the way you phrased that...... very well done.
