Too old? For what?

Prompt: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream another dream." C. S. Lewis Do you agree with this quote?

Do I agree with the quote? Only in some cases. Let’s take climbing Matterhorn. I couldn’t do it even when I was much younger, as in "Alps: Zermatt, Bern, Lugano, Castles" . Now, at the age of three-quarters of a century, I am not going to set that goal again.

Yet, I can set smaller goals, like cleaning a closet or two, which isn’t happening, either. Or let’s say writing a short story or a short poem or making that chicken casserole, which that third option I have to since I defrosted the thing.

I am also not too old to dream of flying, exploring the insides of large maze-like buildings, climbing a tall oak, as long as these dreams happen while I sleep at night.

But I am not going to try to get another vocation. I’ve had it with vocations. Avocations, maybe because learning is forever, isn’t it!
