I Think I have Lived My Lifetime

I lay in bed yesterday trying to get rid of a headache and thoughts of my life started running through my brain. Visions of the past near and far chased each other for attention and a thought managed to sneak through the chaos; I have had a lifetime. Now I am in my fifties so I probably shouldn't be having a thought like that with a period on the end but that is exactly how it felt. Of course I have been really out of sorts lately so that could be the reason but I am not sure. Try thinking back on your life, try to remember being a child, a teenager, a young adult etc etc etc. Think of the people you have known, loved, hated and just bumped into. Peruse the newsstand in you head and review the events that have occurred since you became aware of the world around you. Think of your children and their lives and maybe your grandchildren and their lives. The more you think the more your brain becomes full and the thought I have had a lifetime pops up. Now I know that there will probably be more to this life but I can't see or feel connected to the rest of it. It feels like the main chapters are written and only the epilogue is left. Still sometimes that can be the best part of the story.
