Chapter 57

When I say my age out loud, a part of me thinks I MUST be talking about somebody else.

Surely that number doesn't describe ME!!!

I mean, how in the WORLD can I be 57?????

HOW????? 

Well, as of a few seconds ago, I did indeed become 57!!!!

WOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

I have lived on my own since I was 24. 

That's 33 years!!!!!!!!!

Over the span of those 33 years...

I've SEEN some things!

I've DONE some things!

And some things have been done TO me!

I've had NO dollars!

I've had a FEW dollars! 

I like having a few dollars better!

I've LOVED!

I've LUSTED!

I've PINED!

I've MISTREATED!

I've been CELEBRATED!

I've been CHEATED!

I've been HUMBLED!

I am THANKFUL for my SIBLINGS and FRIENDS.

I am THANKFUL that regardless what adverse situation came my way, I got THROUGH it!

I am THANKFUL that I live each day treating EVERYBODY I encounter the PRECISE way I want to be treated.

I fully recognize and accept that I have more years BEHIND me than in FRONT.

Therefore, that means that NOW is the time to do WHATEVER it is I desire to do!

SKYDIVE!

DRIVE from CALI to INDIANA and back!

BUY a condo!

DECORATE said condo!!!!

Get a DOG (or TWO)!!!

Visit SAVANNAH, GA!

Visit Culver Academy to meet up with an incredible gang I met when I was 16!!!!!!

Visit KAUAI, HAWAII (the island my brother was married on)!!! I didn't attend because I didn't want to use my credit card! What a FOOL I was!!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!

Yes, Chapter 57 is gonna be a BLAST! 

And it's gonna be a BLAST because I am DETERMINED to make it so!

After all, it's SOLELY up to me if my life is a JOYFUL DANCE or a DIRGE!!! 

I give GRATITUDE to GOD and The UNIVERSE for allowing me the privilege of greeting 57.

What I know for sure is...


HAPPY 57th BIRTHDAY, CAM Jr!

Now, go out there and LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
