I Compare Myself

to everyone in my life who is right around my age.

I come up short.

A high percentage, a very high percentage, of people my age are fully retired.

I am not.

I know a fair amount of people five or six years younger than me who are retired.

All of these people are living life effortlessly and smiling a lot.

These people, every single one of them, are obviously smarter than I am. Much smarter.

This disturbs me. I used to think I was smart. Until I got past 65.

And the older I get, the stupider I get. Unless I maneuver a way to retire.

Or die.
