This Is This

One of the definitely best things about growing older is the amount of time you have known you friends. They make us stronger, they sweeten our victories and they cushion our defeats. Friends rock, expecially my friends.

One of the downsides of growing older is the amount of time you haven’t known the friends you’ve just met. Last time I looked, fourty was five years away and every time I check it’s getting closer. I meet someone I really like almost biannually and age increasingly comes into my head every time we click.

I say click, but you have to work them in, so it’s more like stickle bricks or tinker toys than Lego, which do actually click. Not that I’ll actually tinker with or stickle any of my friends. Can we move on?

The other thing about getting older is that it’s easier to be thankful. You can pray if you like or believe what you want. It’s all the same to me, but good for you if you’ve got what you need.

But  if you can’t be grateful for really cool stuff then you maybe should.

You can count a blessing without actually being blessed and see goodness without a written sense of good. You have the purpose of morality with a moral purpose and whether you are spritual or not, you can feel your spirit lift and it’s all down to really cool stuff.

You have to be smart enough to understand the flow of information but stupid enough to think it’s important.
