View From The Bench



When you’re my age, you have to do things in stages. So if you have to walk from home to the church, you leave early and stop for a rest in the park halfway along.

And while I sat getting my breath back, I saw these drunken teenagers, clearly on the way home from a night out. They were stumbling around, screaming and laughing, clearly enjoying themselves.

It got me thinking, about the years I spent playing it safe, never taking stupid risks, never letting go. How I always stayed quiet, safe and, well, boring.

I don’t regret it.

Much…
