Today

(I posted this on Facebook, but all the line-endings were removed. So I thought I'd copy it here where I have a little more control over the formatting.)

Some things I'm going to try not to think about today:

  • I'm now closer to 50 than 40
  • When my father was my age, I was 21
  • When my grandmother was my age, I was born
  • When Henry (our youngest) is a senior in high school, I'll be 59

Instead, I'm going to concentrate on the feeling that my best is still ahead of me.
