56 More Days

Happy Monday everyone. Hope your weekend was good. There is much worry and trouble in the world.
Let us do today what we can to make ourselves and those around us happy.
In 56 days, on October 17, these five different, daily blogs I write will reach a grand total 3,000 posts.
This five-a-day blogging began all because our son questioned why his 2nd grade teacher wanted him to read out loud 20 minutes each night.
And the five topics (blogs) were created so a Father could have a simple way to teach his son about life.
What Makes You Feel Old?

Mid Life – like birth, childhood, adolescence, leaving home, getting married, having kids, empty nest, retirement, death – midlife fits in there as one of life’s major milestone categories.
For the sake of argument, of course, not everyone gets married or has kids, but it is the most common way to continue our species.
In life’s stages, when and where did you start to feel old?
For me, it was four major things:
- Getting AARP welcome letter in 2009 (age 50)
- A dangerous cholesterol report in 1999 (40)
- Identifying our legitimate disability in 1996 (37)
- Buying the first pair of reading glasses 1995
