Yes, the years are creeping up. Another year around the sun flies by, and the mind wanders about the journey that lies ahead, and the years in the rear view mirror.
I have learned that the health and well being of those we love is more important than just about anything else. That being happy has nothing to do with having or not having a bank balance.
I have learned that the things that used to piss me off 10 years ago, don’t even move the needle today. I have learned that gratitude is a state of mind, and giving is infinitely more rewarding that receiving.
I have learned that a purposeful life, is a meaningful life, and that random acts of kindness can be the gift that keep on giving.
The brash arrogance of yesteryears have given way to an assertive, and seasoned man. Such are the ways of the world, such are the rites of passage.
