Today

So today I turn the official minimum age to collect social security.

Wow.

Growing up, I never thought about getting this experienced at living. But here I am, beginning my last lap.

All I can say that I have lived through enough mistakes, pain and disappointment to know that we have nothing to fear. A little irrational enthusiasm and adaptation will sustain us during the hard times to experience something better again. If we keep paddling out there will always be another wave to ride.

It’s my birthday, I am going surfin’.
