hope..hope and hope!

this morning i've learned and have to admit something. I am getting old and starting to forget things. on the way to my work, i have to pass the main gate of the king abdulazis port and this was manned by the port police. they're scrutinizing and questioning every one doing business or working at the port. our company secured us a port pass that we have to show (plus our faces) to the guards for them to let us in. and of all things, i forgot my pass. so, i have to come back and get it from my room.
now things are showing up. silverlinings on top of my head (i'm thankful that at least some hair still remaining), and i'm getting easily tired nowadays. plus, the forgetfull ness. i can not deny it, i'm getting old.
even then, i'm very thankful that a i reached this age. some of my friends and classmates passed away even before reaching their peaks. at my age now (40+), i can not say that i'm still on my peak but i'm hoping i'm still. hoping is free anyway.
this could be the turning age of my lifetime. i think this is the time whein i have to decide which better way should be for me. my child is going to college and still have long years to work after she finished any course she may take. but my love and support for her will remain.
well, today i forgot something, something that could let me in to my work. still, i tried to get it and use it. the thing is, i'm still willing and hoping to go on. until when, that i forgot...
