Fifty Five is a watershed year.  At 55 you get tons of AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) mail landing in the mailbox about once or twice a week, offering life insurance (which you may now need), car insurance, offers for AARP membership so you – now at 55 – can get the elderly discounts at stores and events.  Who said getting old was all bad?

Which brings me to another point: fifty five is somewhat of a bewitching number. You are safe at 53, since you can reverse the numbers and get 35, and that’s always a happy thought. Or if you’re 72 you can also reverse this number and get an even better 27.  But 55? You can try to reverse this number but still come back to where you started – 55. Yes, no matter how many times you do itit’s all the same: 55. You’re stuck.

That can be one reason why people don’t like to be 55.

My wife also claims that she doesn’t want to get older, and I understand that. She’s good about the whole process but also laments its implications.  Fifty-five represents yet another year down in the march to 78.7 – the average age an American woman lives to these days.  The thing is, the more years that go by, the less years there are between your present age and that magic number.  It’s serious.  You would think that by bemoaning the years passing, suddenly they would go backward, so once you hit 55 your next birthday would be 54, then 53 … all the way back to 18.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.  Is there a complaint department in this universe?

I should give my testimony.  I was fifty five once and progressed beyond that point just fine.  I’m 56 now and all systems are still operational, for which I very thankful.  For me, every birthday is a victory.  I knew a developmental person who believed that everyone liked him and every day was his birthday.  That’s how to have it.

So here’s to my dear beautiful, wonderful wife, a great mother, wife and believer: may she have many more good years in the future, with both her family and her Church, and in the Lord.

Happy birthday!

Just Stopping In to Say Hi (Wish You Were Here)

Well that was the best 55th birthday I have ever had! This winter sabbatical thing is nice. Thank you Florida, Key West & all you ‘keysies’ that made getting older so much fun. The free roaming fowl and the cockfights brought back [old] memories. This winter sabbatical is going much faster than I had hoped and it is time to get back to Texas and work on the poetry book due to release in April.
