The Thing About 49

Yeah, today (August 29, 2018) I turned 49. Another year older, wiser maybe, dorky definitely. With that being said I don’t act it because that would be so boring but I do feel it. Slowing down even at my age can be a bummer. The one thing I have chosen is to relate to people from all generations. Sharing our common struggles in life can make this whole living thing so much better. Age is just a number so they say and I think there is merit to it.

Everyone is in different places in life but there are people who have been where others are just now are. I am not going to be the old guy who knows more than the younger folks but I hope I can be there for everyone if they need someone.

Making it through life is tough today it was tough yesterday and the days before that. Being aware of that can make someone who’s 19, 29, 39 and 49 feel better about where they are and where they are going.

To all those who are younger thanks for your friendship. To those who are older thanks for your connecting with me and letting me see what’s down the road.

The road to the big 5-0 begins today.

All these things have happened in my lifetime and yes the years that have gone by do make me feel older but I am alive and that is great!

Quote Of The Day

One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered… Michael J. Fox

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Renegade

Something a little different here….

He was a good kid. Raised by a good family. Went to the neighborhood church. He went to school every day. He did what was expected for the most part. However he saw things in the world differently. He began to think for himself. He became a social justice warrior and a social justice worrier too. He became a black sheep, a weirdo, a renegade of sorts. The thing about it is that his life led him to be who he is today; a believer, a blogger, a person with his heart on his sleeve.

Patience…Live…Faith

These three words are displayed at my chiropractor’s office and it got me to think about their meanings.

Patience…Good things come to those who wait. What we want isn’t always in our timing or control. Being a patient person isn’t easy but its necessary.

Live…We have to live every moment we can. Living is a risk, it’s dangerous and its worth it to keep on going no matter what adversity we face.

Faith…This is the hardest one because it calls on us believe in something. I think having faith in God, your neighbor, the universe what have you means having to hold close to something you can’t always see.

So my friends have Patience to live in faith.
