I made my 58th orbit back in March.
I don't feel it (most of the time . . . . ) and truly think that this is the best time of my life. That manic, young man's hormone-induced hurry up has passed, what a relief. I've lived some, seen some more, learned patience (now THAT's amazing), earned a little grace, and like myself most of the time. EVERYTHING is NOT a big deal any more. Been through enough storms to appreciate sunshine a great deal more than ever.
In love for the last time with a keeper. Got the motorcycle / license. Can keep my playing at arm's length, and enjoy the retirement from that rat race. Sound better than ever in the living room, where I should have stayed. Re-lit the photo fire with pixels instead of Velvia (which I still miss). Becoming a better than average cook. I'm comfortable in my own skin, quite an interesting development, and wholly unexpected. Never was before . . .
Anyway, Terry, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and I hope you are comfortably easing into Old Geezer-dom like yours truly ! !
All the Best,
