A long way from where I started

Not once have I ever found myself in the place I saw myself in ten years previously.
When I was five years old, I wanted more than anything else to drive one of those enormous garbage trucks that rolled through the neighborhood every week. That didn't happen, and nor did any of my other plans or dreams.
For which I am grateful.
If you know what will happen tomorrow, what is the point of living?

Ten years from now I'll be 72. My Dad lived 93 years and my Mom 95, and led sedentary lifestyles, and did not have the best diet.
I, on the other hand, have led a very active life. I still bike commute four days a week, 8-1/2 miles and 45 minutes each way. I quit smoking almost 50 years ago, and never smoked so much that I became addicted to nicotine.
My wife is a health and nutrition teacher, and we eat healthy. So in ten years I can GUARANTEE I'll be on this planet (dead or alive)!
I expect to live at least as long as either of my parents, unless some "accident" beyond my control occurs.
See you all on the rainbow bridge!

Playin' in a rock n' roll band, livin' on my hobby farm, watching the flowers and trees grow, the dogs wrestlin', and tending my apiary, brewing my own mead and beer.
That and still being able to juggle 5 clubs, which takes quite a bit of practice to maintain even after I spent years and years learning to do it.
I kind of agree it's impossible to predict. This is what I think I want now... but what I want seems to change every 5-7 years.
