Today
I turn 55 which is generally not such a big deal
But,
like with most things in my life, there are a few Caveats*
First,
55 is significant considering I wasn't supposed to live at all
a
few weeks after I was born a Dr told my mother I wouldn't survive
I
think I can safely say I am beyond that now
But
over the years many doctors have consistently remarked
about
how I am put together “Differently”
Psalm
139 says we are “Fearfully & Wonderfully Made”
I
am just a tad more on the Fearfully side
Secondly,
both my Paternal Grandmother (Cancer)
and
my Father (Alzheimer's) didn't live beyond 70
I
remember when I turned 40 very clearly
and
those 15 years have just flown by
The
realization that I am soon to have less years
until
I am 70, than to when I was 40, is Very Sobering
Of
Course nothing says I Wont live longer than 70
But
I intend to play it safe and live the next 15 years
like
they are all I have; Just in Case
*a
warning of specific stipulations, conditions, or limitations
