Reflections Upon Turning Forty
Today marks my fortieth birthday. The classic line goes "Life begins at 40". If this is true, I'm taking some time to reflect upon my "pre-life", or, first forty years. Who I am, how I got to be that person, etc.
I'm pretty satisfied with the person I am, or at least I am becoming. Kindness, compassion, empathy, and the like are all things I strive to project wheen I'm dealing with others. I wasn't always this way and I can honestly say I'm not very proud of who I was for many of the previous forty years. It is only in the last couple of years that I have made the changes necessary, I believe, in my life, to have a positive impact on those around. My spirituality and sense of the underlying current of our planet are at an all-time high, and this too is a positive.
Here's to hoping the next forty years are filled with as much opportunity to learn about myself and the world around me as the last forty. If I could make a birthday wish it would be for more happiness, for both myself and everybody else.
See you when I see you.
