Dear God:Today, I am thankful for making it half way through my 53rd year.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. ~Samuel Ullman
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
~Douglas MacArthur
On my "half-birthday," I attended a luncheon that launched Colorado Unity's Affirmative Action Awareness project in Southern Colorado. I met several impressive people including community activitists and educators. I am now considering volunteer opportunities that are very different from shelving library books or reading aloud to pre-schoolers.
My heart says to move forward on a new path while my bank account says find a real job. This time around, I know that I must follow my passion.
For this blessing, I am very grateful.
Amen.
