  • I am now 42

    From McDoob@21:4/135 to All on Mon Dec 27 07:16:52 2021
    No, I am not the answer to Life, The Universe, And Everything.

    But, I am watching the sun rise. And wondering:

    Is this all there is to life? Am I just a worker, forever annoyed with my
    boss?

    Is somebody going to knock down my life, just to make room for a new Galactic Super Highway?

    Don't panic! I found my towel!

    I'll be 42 in August. You'll have to let me know if 42 is any better than 41.

    My mind still feels 21, but my knees are feeling 41 lately. ;)

    Someone once told me that the one enjoyable benefit of getting older is that you can purposely forget things and nobody complains.

    I feel about 25, but I don't hate getting older. I'm enjoying it, actually. :)

    That reminds me of a quote I see online every now & then:

    "Do not complain about growing old. It is a privilege denied to many."

    The quote is often attributed to Mark Twain, but other times to someone else.

    Whatever its source, it's a nice reminder to be thankful we're still here.

    Very wise words. I've never heard that quote, but I will keep it in mind.

    True! While there are some tangible effects of age (like some grey hair, skin changes, etc), everything still works fine, and I'm enjoying it.

    Yep, gratitude is an awesome thing.
