I've had an APOSTROPHE!

You know when you are sitting idly on some Tuesday night, and you have a thought that hits you like base-ball bat to a 7-11 clerk at one am while he's being robbed. I had one of those thoughts, it was more a movement really, a life shuttering emotional thingy. Unbelievable! My apostrophe has been a long time-a-comin. I have often wondered what my life would be like as an old man. I used to be afraid of getting old, becoming too old to do the things I enjoy doing now. I have now realized that there are many things that you can do when you get old that you cannot do now. IE sit around for days at a time, while you watch your grandkids play, then send them home with your child. Life seems to be much more experienced as one ripens. By this I mean that as you get older, things that you have never noticed before start to become events that are worth stopping your day for. Anyway, back to my apostrophe, I hunger to ripen to a good old age, accompanied by the one I love. With her by my side, I fear nothing. My hate turns to dislike, and my emotions are much more stable and yet, at the same time, they are heightened beyond my wildest dreams. Congnitive analysis tells me that I am in love. I feel like I'm in love, and for the first time in my life, I trust in it completely. I trust her completely. I am not concerned with the monotony of normality. It is beginning to intrigue me, much the same way a small kitten looks at a dog for the first time. Somewhat confused, but very excited. And, the way I see it, I have already grown a strong liking for the way things are progressing, and eventually I can see the kitten and the dog being the best of friends.
