Playing my Part

Sometimes, I think that life is like a play. Of course YOU would, you say. But think of it; people enter stage right, and exit stage left all the time, including eventually, yourself. I like to look out the window in the morning and watch the neighbors now throwing snow off their cars and snow blowing the driveway. They're still young retirees playing an active role. The guys that pick up the garbage and recyclables; the mail people are active too. An "old" guy walks by walking his dog. Right now, I'm playing the part of the senior lady with nothing to do but watch. I'm just the lady sitting there drinking my coffee. Not a bad role.
