the lucky one's

I remember being on a construction sight at age 29 or so and seeing a 78 year old man (the owner of a small carpet company ) installing carpet
Really - like carrying the rolls , kicking , cutting , He was the talk of us all . All us workers knew we were seeing a rare sight .
I asked what did he eat ?
#1 no smoking - salads pasta's meat - simple Italian food , and a glass of red wine . go figure.

Here I am 55 years old
120 over 80 blood pressure
Moving and grooving as I did in my 20's



I don't see any choice to my working as I do
I sorta think i'll work till the good lord says no more .
till then - - - money - money - survive - survive !!!

I am just wondering / worrying / How long can I go .
any input from youngins - my age , and the ones that just keep going .
I wish this ride would last forever & i guess all people before us had the same wish .
