Age is only a number, a cipher for the records. A man can't retire his experience. He must use it. Experience achieves more with less energy and time.
Older than dirt, that is how I like to describe myself. Being old is a wonderful thing, you slow down and have the ability to think things through, that is if you could think in the first place. I no longer have the desire to rush things to completion, I take my time and plan, it is amazing how many mistakes I don’t make anymore.
When I look back at my youth, I see that person that never got anything more than a 9 to 5 job, no matter how realistic the plan was I couldn’t get it to work. Hindsight is a wonderful thing I see all the mistakes I made, and how I made them, so this time I will not make them, or at least minimize them.
i fully expect to have my failures, but they won’t devastate me, or even spoil my mood. I can see problems coming, and I am prepared for them, and if I fall on my face, well that is ok too. Because I will bounce back, nothing can stop me. My age is what keeps me focused and balanced; no set back is to great.
So if you are of an age that is older than dirt, welcome to the club, and for those of you that are still young, I hope you never let life become too much. Because in the long run we are what we need to be, I hope you get everything you need in life.

February 12, 2008
Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing weeds, I can appreciate persistence.
Every day something will happen, be it a big something or a small something, what ever it is, it can and if you let it, stop you from doing the steps that you need to be doing. It is just too easy to say in a minute, give me till this show is over, or I just don’t want to right now. And before you know it, next week is here and you didn’t do anything.
If anyone in this world understands putting off what you can do today, till tomorrow, it is me, the sad truth of the matter is I found tomorrow never gets here. If I have any regrets in this life it is I put off what I should have been doing years ago. But take heart it is never to late to be that person you need to be, sometimes it just takes getting older, and realizing that you are running out of tomorrows.
I hope you are one of the lucky ones that never put off anything. Just never forget, don’t take time away from those that you love and those that love you, because that is the greatest gain you can find in this life.
Never give up, Never surrender
