Happy birthday! I think ;-)
My 56th birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. In one way I feel like that's impossible, because I still feel the way I did at 22. My thoughts and outlook seem unchanged. Yet the moving finger writes. My body sure isn't what it was at 22, playing serious basketball and running. And I recognize that 55 is on the downside of life, not the climb. My intention is to make the most of what I have left. I really wish I had your religious faith but I have not been favored with that.
PS --
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
-- Omar Khayyam
