September 6th Part 2....

So I wanted to follow up with my last post, so as not to lead anyone to think that my day was not a good one.

Quite the contrary. It was a very enjoyable day. A close friend came over and we spent the day out shopping and just enjoying the day. We stumbled across an art show and just enjoyed the afternoon of looking at various artists, making comments, some good, some not so good.

I found a great new piece to add to my collection and J found a photo that I that was very haunting yet inviting that he added to his collection.

After that it was off for a mexican dinner, which J is not found of at all but tolerates for me.
All in all a pretty great day. Thanks for making it so J.

September 6th......

So today is my birthday, I am now 44 years old. So many years have come and gone, so many changes. Some good, some not good, one event was just the worst. But here I stand. I look in the mirror trying to see the man of my youth. He's not there. Still the same face, but it's the eyes that give it away.

A few more wrinkles here and there. The grey stands out a little more prominately, even more in the last few months.

They say with age comes wisdom, it is wisdom or just the reality of going through life? I find it harder to be carefree as I was in my youth. Now I comtemplate the facts before I make a decision. Is that wisdom or just fear?
