It’s later than you think⌚!

Hey there  … may this blog find you well, above ground, with your wheels on the path and your eyes on the road.

Questions about your Medigap Supplement Insurance, Medicare Advantage Plans, or where we are going🤔?

Email Gray@TheBig65.com or book a time on my calendar if you or your friends and family need help with Medicare planning. We’ll do our best to help.

By the time you read this, Mitia, our Malagasi exchange student, and I will be in the air on the way back to Madagascar, about 40 hours of traveling, door to door.

Mitia’s year in America has finished.

That’s the way it is with amazing experiences, you blink, and they’re over. Thank goodness, we retain the memories and the connections… like the evening we took her to see the movie “The Princess Bride” at Red Rocks.

Mitia got to hear ten thousand shouting the words to a movie everyone loves. “Inconceivable!

Saying goodbye to neighbors and friends is bitter sweet, but it’s part of the rhythm of life, a reminder to connect and to give thanks while we can.

In her final week, we took Mitia to a concert at the park playing golden oldies.

Q and I shook off the cobwebs and danced up a storm. You can click on the picture below and watch. It was fun to get out and do something new.

Why am I sharing all this? Well, according to Plato, who is 11, life is short.

Each and every day is a gift. This moment, any moment, could be our last. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re in the later innings of life. We’re all hoping for extra innings, but there are no guarantees.

So if you managed to make it this far, in the blog and in your life, take a moment to breathe, take a moment to give thanks.

I’ll be in Madagascar making sure Mitia gets home safely and helping her get ready for the next steps in her life.

I challenge you to keep squeezing the juice out of life, because it’s later than you think!

Keep asking,  “What’s the next big thing?”

If family or friends need help… referrals are the lifeblood of my business.
