Another Birthday!

I turned 55 today. Whoa!

In my head I don't feel 55, but my body sure tells me a different story - bald spots, sore joints, wrinkles, gray hair everywhere and an expanding waist - it all seems to be shifting to my belly - that sucks!

I'm much more aware of the passage of time. How fast it goes and just how precious time is. One day your born......then you die.

When I was watching the USAir story on CNN yesterday, I felt a chill in my body. I've taken that USAir flight from LaGuardia to Charlotte. I fly USAir all the time. I take for granted that each time I fly, I will get to my destination. The reality is....there is no guarantee, no certainty.

So this story was another reminder for me to be aware that ----- my gift of life is NEVER to be taken for granted ------- That instead of feeling older at 55 - to appreciate living for 55 years - to appreciate my life experiences - and to appreciate each moment I continue to experience. 

So thanks for listening - it helps to get this in writing and to share it!

Until next time - Passion Rules!!

John
