Thank you everyone. I'm 53 now. I look at a birthday as "I'm one day older today than I was yesterday." ... and really, one day closer to my judgment. It's God's mercy to let us grow older and have time to realize that life is short and that we need to make the most of all the time we're given. Youngsters have this feeling of being almost immortal, and that they have "plenty" of time. I feel like it was just yesterday that I went to STAS at the age of 21. But it's 32 years now.
