It occurred to me this morning that I am three weeks away from wrapping up my 45th year on the planet. That means the official downhill slide to 50 has begun. As optimistic as I am about life in general, I am not going to lie, that is a little unsettling. I don’t need a […]
Words From An Aging Optimist
