I am 50 years old, and as Aristotle in his rhetoric wrote, "The body is at its best between ages of thirty to thirty-five; the mind is at its best about the age of forty-nine."
According to Zane B. Stein, in his book, The Chiron Return,
"The time around 50 or so is usually a time when old friendships are treated more warmly, and seem more worthwhile than ever before. The harsh relations with colleagues, caused by years of competition, usually begin to soften at this time. Even difficulties with relatives often begin to be less troublesome now. Physically, the average body begins to grow shorter. In the male, there is a marked decline in the level of testosterone. Overall, there is a feeling at this time tat one has completely formed one's personality."
Well, as some of you can attest, I am a different person than I was a few years ago.
And lastly, as George Orwell wrote, "At fifty, everyone has the face he deserves."
Things are looking up.
This is going to be a great show, perhaps a finale of sorts.
Perhaps the last for a while as my family priorities are changing as well for the better of all.
