40
Yep that’s the year the metabolism really slows down.

40 didn’t bother me, I celebrated it by being at Mt.Rushmore on my birthday.

The approaching benchmark of 50 in a few years, feels way different than 40.

I do appreciate every birthday that goes by, as I’ve seen several of my young aunts and uncles pass away since my 40th. I no longer think that 60 is “too young” to go. Or even 54, the age of my most fun uncle, who got gall bladder cancer that spread to his liver. 54. He was 10 years younger than me and seemed like a cousin or brother rather than an uncle.

Embracing every year that one is alive is the way to be. Never counting on anything as fleeting and fragile as life.

Every year is a blessing, no matter if it’s a good or bad year, Obama or noBama. Living through The Regime, I’m taking it as a test of strength, a test of patience, a chance to be involved and embrace Liberty and not let go.

A very Happy Birthday to you!
