The LP record on the header

The Long Play Record on the header of my blog page is a blast from the past when you could stack records and they would play one at a time in the sequence you wanted.

The idea was like the LP I would blog at least once a week and keep the words flowing.

Life is like a record player, remember we used to have the various RPM speeds , some records would have only one song while some would have more and the Long Play record the most.

Youth is like an LP the energy just does not wane and every waking hour is filled with action, then comes middle age when you move more slowly like a 78 Rpm record with a few focused activities and finally comes the post middle age when you go back to the  LP mode when you wonder when the day will end.  Of course there are some sunny days in our life which are like a 45 rpm quick nice and entertaining and which are our fond memories, like weddings, parties and celebrations of our achievements.

The cycle of life too is like the record player and finally a day comes when we are retired like the Record player; sometime we are  repaired and kept going for a while until the final call comes when we are Beyond Repair.

The youth takes over and they go through the same cycle again, the cycle of life is a constant though the youth play to a different music  on maybe a MP4 player :-).

But still we do not realize and think we are invincible like the Record Player technology which lasted not more than 100 years, subsequent music players had shorter life span like the cassette player, cd player,video CD  player and so forth.

We need to compare our life to a record players turntable and realize that life is finite,though we may have a number of revolutions only until our inertia comes to rest.

Reflect on this blog  through the week and you will begin to realize how miniscule our life span is !
