Celebrate 60

We recently celebrated a good friend's (and really, part of our extended 'family') birthday. Celebrate 60. I got to thinking about it and that really is a milestone (Personally, I think all your '10-year' birthdays should be milestones).

A lot happens to a person in ten years. At 10, you're just starting to figure out what 'it' is all about (we're about to celebrate a certain someone turning '10' and I think it's going to be a big step for him). At 20, you think you've got 'it' all figured out...but you'd better start re-thinking that position (something is bound to happen to you to make you at least consider that you might not have that 'infinite' knowledge you think you have). At 30, you've just gotten to the age where you realize you don't have 'it' all figured out and well now, at least you've got some experience behind you and hopefully some time to get 'it' together.

I don't know what happens after 30...I haven't gotten there yet. To be truthful, I haven't quite made it to 30 yet, but that milestone will fall for me later on this year. So, I think I can safely state my thoughts without too much repercussion.

To celebrate your 60th birthday means a lot. I am really happy for Poppa Funk and his family. They are wonderful folk and I wish him many more '10-year' celebrations. But, for now, I hope we can all just 'Celebrate 60'.
