Fifty

Half Century!

Well here I am on my 50th Birthday. Quite the landmark for most. I though am embracing it. Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah…. Keep telling yourself that!

Honestly though, I am not letting it encompass me in a negative way. Now is definitely not the time to have a  negative outlook. So forward I go! My sister Charlene gave me a card that defines exactly the way I feel.

Not “over the hill”

but “on top of the mountain”-

That kind of youth

doesn’t come from a fountain,

But flows from a heart

that is caring and giving,

Dreams that are dared,

a passion for living-

From tears and laughter

with no room for regrets…

And a smile that says,

“You ain’t seen nothing yet!’

Today me and Vicki are headed to Chicago to celebrate. A nice dinner tonight 95 floors up in the John Hancock building. Tomorrow night we are going to see Buddy Guy play at his blues bar “Legends” in Chicago. He being a spry 78 years of age. Here’s a clip from fours years ago. Give it a listen all the way through as it is a wonderful song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlakiX3UeEc

Next week I am having friends over to celebrate. My friends Jimmy,Sean and I all turn Fifty within 10 days of each other. Jimmy I have known since Kindergarten, and Sean since the Second Grade. They and several other of our friends are going to get together and have a Kegger!!
