I'm fifty this year, i can only say that the road i've traveled, it's been long, tedious and rough, yes there's been some valued time's there when i had admiration. Yet it seem's the more admiral times were when it got tough. It created the us and transformed within the meaning of our existence. Perhaps to help another, to diffuse our self being for a moment, or to simply reflect back on our time spent here. If so did you learn from it?

My road has had some potholes, but overall it has been okay. Lately since my wife died I have headed out into a new direction. I have decided to live a life while some lady looks for me. I learned you need to wake up each morning and smile into the mirror. That person will smile back at you and make your day better.

Yea Totally. I have learned all my well maybe not all character defects. I took so much for granted. Especially I was very self absorbed and entitled. I love being of service. The road has been a blessing and it is only half over.

I hope she is, but in case she never find me I am going to continue to enjoy life and do whatever comes across my mind at the moment.

So real your reply, half over, so true an abundance of knowledge just waiting round the bend to grasp. Hmmm.

The road I've traveled has also been long, tedious and rough, but it made me a strong person, and I'm glad of it. My beliefs have been formed by it, my inner self has been tempered by it, and my heart has been made immeasurably large by it. In other words, it has made me who I am today. I have learned what is and isn't important in this thing we call life, and learned not to sweat the small stuff. And if it's not life or death, it's the small stuff. I stumbled a bit earlier this week, and let a bunch of small stuff become big stuff...I let things that shouldn't have hurt me, and I feel the toxic effect of this. But again, I learned from it, so it has its purpose. And now I'm working on detoxifying again.

Good thread, Bentlee.

Age is only a number my friend.I will be 70 in January and look forward not back.The road behind me has been a learning curve on which I have had to carry heavy and sometimes light loads,but I coped.Sometimes the wheels fell off my wagon, or I had to stop and change horses,but that is what life is all about.

I have learned to be humble caring for the sick and appreciate my own good health. A purse to those in need and always a shoulder to cry on for people less fortunate than me. I'm still up for an adventure and hope to have many more fulfilling days with good friends and family. Here's wishing you all the same.

Dru, exponentiooly, hmmm spell check on that lol. So true, we all have the shaping of us tools. Maybe it's time to put the edge on us in a dull way. Perhaps thats a statement that makes no sense. Yet it does. It's about reflection of self. . . .

Well my road has definitely been the road less travelled so far.

Not sure I'd change the outcome of having had to live that way, but would love it to have happened differently.

Maybe great insight doesn't come without great pain.....

PS Good thread.

Yes, Bentlee, it made sense.

And Gingerb, I think you've hit the nail on the head...it doesn't come without pain. We don't learn and grow from our joy, only from our pain and suffering. The joy is what makes us keep going.

I've got no regrets.

I've done it all.

Hi Dru

And the joy is so concentrated, even if it is rare, that we put up with a lot just to feel it again.
