Sort of odd for me. I feel no different than I did when I was 49, or 48 or....well, the list goes on.
I suppose that I'm now supposed to go out and fine a woman 30 years younger than me and buy some sort of "Status" car to drive about in.
Ummm...not up for it. I rather like my life as it is. I'm happy.
Seems a lot of folks want to be what they are not. When we are young we want to be older, when we are old we want to be younger. We are seldom happy just being where and who we are.
This minds me of the numerous times I'd spoken with any number of folks. To so many they put their happiness ahead or behind themselves. But they refuse to be happy Now.
When I'm old enough to move out, when I'm old enough to drink, when I'm old enough to vote....then later.
When I graduate!, When I get married!. When I get the promotion!, When I find the right whatever!
When I was with Him/Her, when I was at that job, when I used to be (fill in the blank).
Then I'll /will be happy.
Being happy, content, or just enjoying our lives is a simple matter of choice. God created us to be happy with no resrictions. We put resrictions upon our own happiness. We can just choose to be happy now.
Give it a shot. I did.
Just my thoughts,
John.
