Now I am in my 50’s, and I am older, I have more to remember.
This is worth remembering.
I remembered to remember what I have to remember at a bus stop in the middle of Newcastle last week.
One evening at about 6 o’clock.
I chose a busy bus stop up near Haymarket, because I knew there’d be a lot of people milling about.
Living their lives as I went about living mine.
Then I did this…
Cantona.
Do you remember when Cantona scored that goal against Sunderland in 1996?
The video is at the end of this story at 50odd.co.uk if you don’t remember.
Well, I stood like he did after he’d scored.
Looking around for a few seconds.
Taking it all in.
Thinking what a privilege it is to be here.
Sad that it’d soon be over.
But remembering to love the fact that I am here today.
That my life is filled with good people, family, possibility and opportunity.
It is worth remembering – that all of this is worth remembering.
