Reflections.
It is official now, I’ve been a passenger on this planet for sixty-eight full trips around the sun with the sixty-ninth plotted into the nav computer and the go controls engaged. I can hardly believe it! Who would have ever thought I would make it this far in life? I sure didn’t and at times in the past, I doubted I would make it another day and then there were times I was sure I wouldn’t but somehow I’m still alive and reasonably functional considering all the things I’ve put this poor meat sack and the thing living in my head that thinks it’s in charge through.
It’s been an unusual and strange trip to say the least and in many ways extraordinary and sometimes when I think back to all the things I’ve been through and done, it doesn’t seem real and I have to ask myself was that really me? Did I do that? Was it all a dream or fragments of some forgotten move I watched?
In some ways, at times when I was younger I thought my life was cursed with things that I didn’t really understand that seemed impossible and insurmountable that in the long run, turned out to be a blessing in disguise because although off to a rocky and uncertain start, my life has been charmed and truly blessed with experiences and perspectives few people ever share making me a better and stronger person for it.
Like everyone, there have been ups and downs and in retrospect, perhaps things I would have done better or differently but I’m sure this is something everyone feels when they get to a certain age but I have no regrets and only few disappointments to look back on so I have no complaints. Things turned out better than I ever anticipated with opportunities, highlights and loves I never expected.
If I died tomorrow, I would go a happy person as I have lived an incredibly amazing and wonderful life that truly has been a blessing but I ain’t dead quite yet and don’t plan on going anywhere real soon. I’ve still got things to do and things to learn and ways to grow which are the things I think that have kept me going all these years? I plan on being 70 in a year just to say I made it and neener neener to the naysayers that never thought I would make it beyond 30!
Sorry for tooting my own horn a little but yay and woohoo for me!

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
