It's now official----I made it through another year. Today (Aug 16) and I am now 57 years young. By looking at my picture you can tell I don't look a day over.....well, 57! LOL

I have to say I am truly blessed. I'm healthy, I'm doing what I love, I have the world's best wife, 3 awesome boys, and 2 crazy dogs that make me laugh a lot. I have learned to savor the good things in life and not dwell as much on the bad. I've also learned that worrying is a waste of time because most of what we worry about never happens anyway.

Without a doubt though, the most important thing I've learned is how important FAITH is and much better life is when I TRUST GOD COMPLETELY. He will take care of us--He's taken care of me for 57 years--he's not going to stop now. I know I'm still learning to trust Him--too many times I still want to be in charge but that's ok, God's not through with me yet.

What's the BEST thing about being "more mature"? DISCOUNTS!

What's the WORST thing about being a "senior"? (I hate that term) FORGETTING TO USE THE DISCOUNTS!  You know what I mean, don't you?

Look out 58, here I come! Huffin' and puffin'.  Hmmm, did anyone see where I put my keys?
