Would the upper-age group quilters share their thoughts on this problem I am having.
You really don't know how much time you have for projects, do you? I am 68 and I may live to be 100 or maybe not, but why think about it. PLEASE don't think about how much time you may not have, but that you are here today, tomorrow and many more tomorrows. Each day is a gift so live it to its fullest and do what you love to do; quilting or any other activities.

I understand that one can feel low thinking about how the years have gone by on jet wings - we were young girls of 18 and now here we are senior citizens. Whoa, it makes my head spin just thinking about it...but that is life. Enjoy all your TODAYS and do not worry about your tomorrows.
