Wow, a couple weeks ago on November 20th…I turned 42 years old. It may sound funny, but the first thing I thought to myself…Lord, in 8 years I am going to get an AARP card and a magazine to go with it…OMG! But then I had to put things in perspective. I have lost a few good friends who only got to live until their thirties…so with that being said…I NEED TO REJOICE! I thank God every day for giving me the opportunity to live each day and to enjoy life to the best of my ability. Then I said to myself…instead of worrying about turning 50 (because for a moment I was…truth be told), what do I want my life to look like during these next 8 years. So that is what I am working on…writing out what I want to create for my life. I think this is going to be fun. Like the good book (Bible) says…WRITE IT DOWN…and make it plain…and that’s exactly what I am going to do!! I’ll keep you posted on the progress.
At first I laughed because I am couple of years closer to that card coming in the mail. Then I thought about what you said. What will I do with the next 4.5 years until my card shows up in the mail? Thank God for friends like you and Jamal. Your encouragement means the world to me and my family.
