Lost in Thought.....

Yep - it’s my birthday and I’ll write what I want to.

Does older equal wiser? I’m not so sure.

Do we ever really learn from our mistakes? No, I don’t think so.

Destined to repeat these mistakes as some sort of familiar ground? Maybe.

Do we progress by default because I’m not sure I’m progressing but merely moving forward by default.

As Mark Twain once said, “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” Honestly, I don’t mind to say I am soon to be 37, however it DOES matter if I am not learning from 36 or from any other age. Shall I digress to re-live, re-learn & apply to my soon to be age of 37? Great, I’m approaching an age where I might actually be getting my head together and my body is starting to fall apart.

I totally get that growing old is mandatory yet growing up is optional and I wonder how old I would be if I actually didn’t know how old I was. One thing I do realize is that drinking a half bottle of red and having devoured a cheese fondue for dinner, I probably won’t come up with any of these answers. At this time, I have no solid conclusions but one thing I think I am for certain is that quite possibly one of the very first signs to maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns left.

Happy Birthday to me! Yep, I’m a dork.
