Say hey, isn't that what Willie Mays said? I cannot believe my eyes. You say I won, like #1, first place. Not too shabby. I appreciate your reading, reviewing and maybe supporting me. God bless.

Congratulations on your win Tom. I loved reading your delightful philosophy for life. Today is the perfect age for me as well and since we can't change it - it's good that we feel that way.
Blessings

Such kind words buoyed the spirit and hopefully I will write anew something as good or maybe?? better?
Comment from dellsworthpoet
A very philosophic piece.
The pace is good. The language fits the subject. The images are clear. The piece stays o point. The end is an apt conclusion.
Thanks for a good read.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
I agree with you, now is all we have. Excellent entry for the Perfect Age writing prompt contest.
I enjoyed reading your story. It moved along nicely and the plot about your younger wife was interesting. The story was easy to follow. Good character development, too.

Love your optimism and determination to declare today as the perfect day, and I do subscribe to your perfect recipe for happiness. If you want to be something, be today , tomorrow might never come.

Comment from Cindy Decker 2
Tom,
What a great story! Your diction is perfect and your sweetly-sardonic tone is fantastic.
I'm 64 and feeling it ache wise, but I'm just now realizing some of my dreams. (Writing, playing a musical instrument, raising a dog--she can be expensive too.
I'm so happy that your daughter is alright, and that you were happy to help her.
Good luck with this one!!!

Spot on! The authentic self reasons that what is just right before our eyes is far more in perspective than our rearview mirror of life or gazing through our clouded minds about what the future holds. KUDO's

Comment from Bill Schott
This essay, What is the Perfect Age?, makes good points about planning, expectations, and whether we are behind the eight ball or ahead of the game.

Writer: your story made me laugh and made me cry. Overall, I think you have a great attitude about aging, an issue of which I am currently struggling. On 'those days', I will think of you. Keep writing your words of wisdom for all of us to enjoy. Good luck in the contest. Linda
