Our 50 th Birthday is for many of us a landmark year.
Not necessarily what we will accomplish, but what we decide is really important.
With whom do we want to spend the rest of our lives with.

My unwritten rule came from my grandfather, and he didn’t mean it as a negative.

A true story, not a fairy tale or sea story....
I was eating breakfast at the counter of a truck stop one morning when a man came in and sat down. He looked bad. Bad as in his dog had died, his son had turned homo, the city of New York caught the clap from his daughter and his wife had run off with his best buddy kind of bad.
I asked him if he was going to be okay.
He looked at me and told me his darling baby girl had woken him up with a cheerful “happy birthday daddy” phone call. He said “I’m 50 today. Where did my life go?”
I just smiled and told him to call his wife, he would feel better.
The waitress made a fuss over the birthday boy and some older fellas clapped him on the back and wished him a happy birthday.
I hope his day got better.
Good for you.

When I turned 50, I started pulling the weeds out of my life’s garden, by tuning out and ignoring the a$$hole weeds.

Good for you!
My career as a long haul truck driver kept the weeds in my garden to a minimum. When I retired I gave the remaining weeds a good dose of Roundup. Worked wonders. ;-)
Ha. I guess that’s how JD Rucker signs off?
