Rock On...
It's my birthday today, 50 at last! I'm not depressed about this as yet again it feels no different to other birthdays, though I'm not in love with the idea either. But life and time go on and carry you with them, either kicking and screaming or going with the flow. I'm not surprised to have this many years, it's a lot longer than my mother lived, so in a way it's actually a bit of a triumph. I can think of at least four other people of my acquaintance who died way before their time, one barely out of his teens and at least two others who died by their own hands, so I have a lot to be grateful for.
And as a very good, slightly less old, but very valued friend said, "life begins at forty but your second childhood begins at 50!" And with that thought, I'm off to enjoy a very long ride around the Dutch countryside on my racing bike - what better way to spend my birthday! :)
Feliz cumpleanos na me!
Mick
