Happy Birthday,

Fifty is a big deal. Yes, as one responder said, so is 81. But Fifty puts you at at the door step. the welcome mat to: hello! Now you have an amazing, huge and exciting part of your life left.

My wife sort of struggled turning fifty, no worries. She never had to sweat it, she's a f=(&%$/g machine okay? I mean, it's perspective; how you choose to account for it all.

I love the way you literally did an 'accounting', there's something there, something deeper, something very encouraging. Broke bongs, that's funny... Your summary, good for you. Yeah I'm pushing 70 and my atitude alligns with yours.

Absolutely we can choose to make this trip what it is by the way we crawl out of bed everyday. Today gonna suck? Today am I gonna win the lottery? Or: Another day, the sun, coffee, a moment of stillness and peace; yes it can be a bitch but fuck, I've got this.

You go girl! (Or aren't I supposed to say that any more?), oh hell with it, you get me.
