A FUNNY THING HAPPENED TO ME THE OTHER DAY!!!

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED TO ME THE OTHER DAY!!!

?First, I have to give you a little background.? I am a 77-year-old Jewish Gentleman, and I was in a bad marriage and separated from my wife of 10 years on August 31, 2023.? My favorite cousin, as we were growing up, lives 20 minutes from where I was living while I was living with my soon to be exwife.? I needed a place to stay, so I stayed with my now 76-year-old cousin.? I had major back surgery on August 22, 2022, and I am still dealing with pain weakness and discomfort.? I use a walker from time to time as an aid in walking.

?So, my cousin and I were in her house, and I was in the living room, and my cousin was in the kitchen.? I left my walker in the kitchen as I went in there to pick up my full dinner plate and left the walker there in my hands; we were both carrying something.? My cousin asked me if “I wanted my wheels.”? Now, back in the day, when we were all a lot younger, wanting my wheels meant driving my car.? But, now in my mid-70s, it means I want my walker.

?I realized what she said and the different meaning for us now, and I pointed that out to her, and we both had a good laugh.? As we get older and as we experience more things in business and in life and in love, your perspective changes.? We look at instances like this and it’s somewhat funny and somewhat sad, but life at its different stages holds different things for us.? I may be 77 but I started a new business with my partner, Fred Sams, about 18 months ago and both of us work hard to build our Empire.? Most people my age are either retired or planning for retirement.? I still have the mind of an astute 35- or 40-year-old but with life and business experience that they cannot have.? And I have the heart and soul of an 18- or 21-year-old but with passion they will NEVER know!!!?
