This wisdom stuff is great

Over the weekend, I had an opportunity to give a happy birthday greeting to a friend who turned the big 6-0.   It was something I had looked forward to doing because I remember when I crossed this new decade line in the sand two years earlier.

Here’s an excerpt of my greeting: 

“Happy birthday and welcome to septuagenarian land, a place where every middle-aged man is oozing with wisdom yet still sees a 16-year old kid when looking in a mirror.”

With two year under my belt living the decade my friend is now beginning, my post-birthday greeting reflection has been how this wisdom stuff is great.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
