Life's Been Good to Me So Far


2 4 6 8 Posted by Hello

I am fifty-four today and I cannot believe it—where does life go? I clearly remember the days passing, the traumas, bliss, days of work and days sheer boredom but put all those days together and you have a life my life! Two kids, four kids six kids I have, depending on the way one looks at the family, naturally shaken not stirred. I love them all and how each member fits into my life. Each kid is a different tapestry each bringing in a color and weave specific to themselves. I love the colors and the end results. Fifty-four and I am lucky enough to have a mate, a partner friend and wife who loves me and puts up with me just the way I am and that’s a lot. I love you Dianne, there I said it publicly in my blog—it is doubtful anyone will read this but still it is public and out in front of the INTERNET world. I am fifty-four I have a job, a mortgage a family and a life. I can drive have a van but I choose to use the train most days..but I have a choice, I have little pain, physically—it is getting worse each year but manageable and livable. I fell only three times last year—nothing broke--my transfers work most of the time and I can still do all my own ADLs but Dianne cuts my hair.
