Welcome to reallynevertoolate.com.

Celebrate and appreciate aging!

We all age. Some of us even get old. But we don’t have to.

I was privileged to know Colonel Harland Sanders, the poster boy for late bloomers. He was successful not because he served up pressure fried chicken coated in 11 secret herbs and spices, but because he had a story to tell. Col. Sanders took that story on the road when he was 65 and continued to tell it so long as he had breath, dying of pneumonia at 90. And his story became his company’s story and remains part of our story.

Share your story here. Once it’s here, though, it belongs to the world. If you have copyright concerns, don’t post here, because you’re letting go.

This site was conceived to attract baby boomers and 60 plussers who have something to say, more to give, and a whole lot more living to do. But anyone can post. No age discrimination here! Energy and the ambition to try something new or different don’t have to be limited by the calendar. The half step or half second slower of a professional athlete still leaves 99% of us standing with our shoes nailed to the floor. Just because you have lost a beat from your prime doesn’t mean you can’t show the world your dust.

As we prepare to celebrate Memorial Day, to honor those who gave their lives in service to our great country, I want to share this poem, which appears in the current issue of LEATHERNECK magazine. Apologies for copyright problems - maybe forgiveness instead of permission.
