Bye Bye 45


When I post again, I'll no longer be 45. Wow, 46. How did that happen? My older son is now less than a year younger than I was when I first got married. My dad was retired less than four years older than I am now. And when I'm done, I will have been raising kids for nearly 40 years. I'll be collecting a Social Security check when I'm at my little girl's high school graduation.


Forty years ago I was learning how to ride my bicycle.


Thirty years ago I was learning how to drive.


Twenty years ago I was about to become a father.


Ten years ago I changed careers.


Ten years from now I hope to have a deep sense of peace and purpose.


Today I'm thankful for everyone and everything in my life.


Have a terrific weekend.
