Star Trek and I turn 5 decades, 2.5 scores, 1/2 a century, or 50 years old, tomorrow. Needless to say, I am being overly contemplative, reflective, hopeful, and curious for what is to come in the next 50.
Here are a few observations of getting older and turning half a century:
-
You are only as old as you feel.
-
Often the greatest joys come from personal and simple pleasures.
-
Don’t overlook accomplishments that move you closer to a goal.
-
The older you get, the faster time seems to move.
-
Do something that makes you happy, everyday.
-
Savor, appreciate, and share your gratitude with others.
P.S. Yours is good advice for any age. Thanks for the reminders.
