Good grief! Now and then I guess grief can be good somehow. And now I'm about to experience such a happening. If I can make a few more days I will be able to realize my 70th birth anniversary. I'm telling you for some time now the knowledge has been grieving me something furious. But I'm about to make it to the 70th and that is good.
If life begins at conception I actually turned 70 back one day in October. We don't talk about life when we have a birthday, they are only based on when you cleared the canal. Soooo, it is a birth anniversary not how old one might be.
I'll probably never know when I topped the hill and started down the other side but if I make it past 70 then my downhill slide began higher than 35. The thing about the 70 has nothing to do with my physical self, at least I don't think I feel any older than I felt years ago. But mentally it works on me big time.
70 is only a number that one can use to gauge how far down the hill they've gone and 70 is a far piece down the hill. It tells me that I'm getting very close to the bottom where that born with ultimate goal that no one escapes awaits me.
Life has had it's ups and downs but overall I think we've been treated pretty nice and hope like the dickens that Obama and his lot doesn't screw that up before we get clear to the bottom and my meeting.
"Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that money cannot buy; therefore value it, and be thankful for it." - Izaak Walton
