Today is my birthday

As I reflect upon this day, I make several realizations:

1) My age (36) is now closer to 40 than it is to 30.

2) My life is about half over now.

3) I have lived through four decades and two centuries and one millenium.

4) If I had lived in earlier times I would probably be dead at this age.

5) I have been married for 10 years, owned a house for 10 years, and out of college for 12 years.

6) In two years, I will have a 20th high school reunion that I won't go to.

7) By the time Prince was 36, he had won an Oscar, several Grammys, and had ruined the careers of countless proteges.

8) If you multiple 3 X 6 you get 18 which is exacly half of 36. Damn, do I miss being 18.

9) They say with age comes wisdom. They lie. I'm still dumb as a bag of rocks.

10) It has now been 12 years since I had a full head of hair.

Well, a wonderful day to you! rose sun
You have done some pretty good math there with your realization, I would say you are very smart, quite possibly wise too. wink

Have a happy day. ~Smile.

My 3333 post! I have to be profound, deep, inspirational, meaningful. I need to sum up the meaning of life itself in one sweeping statement.
