Well, tomorrow,12th June, marks one of those landmark moments in one's life. My 50th Birthday. Where on earth did that spring from! I think like everyone else in the world I feel little different from when I was maybe 21. However, what you feel and what your your body is able to do are slightly different!!
I do feel very privileged to have been born when I was. I am able to exploit all the technology around me but still appreciate what it was like without a mobile phone, the Internet, and having to wait at least four hours for your photographs to be developed and printed. I have been very fortunate with my health and apart from the last few years and a couple of dodgy knees, type 2 diabetes I am pretty healthy, but am not sure what I would have been like had I been 50 in 1963. Still I won't dwell on the bad things, the last 50 years have been fun, exciting, scary and everything in between. I wouldn't change anything. Everything that has happened to me, both good and bad has made me the person that sits and writes this blog. In 1963 I would have had to type it, get it published and produced in a paper of newsletter. Wow, what would my Grandparents think of all this? So thank you to every one that has helped me along the way to reach this momentous milestone. One sad thing is looking back through my logbook and photos at all those people no longer here. However, here's to another 50 and all the people and am going to meet and maybe help.
Happy Birthday to me!
