A parakeet looks at 40
Well here it is. My 40th birthday. Seems like a good time to reflect on my life.
My life so far -
3 years old - Watch Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.
6 years old - Pick The Pittsburgh Steelers as my favorite team.
7 years old - Get my first bike.
7 years old - Get my first bike stolen.
8 years old - Score a goal in my first soccer game.
12 years old - Go on my first extended sailing trip.
12 years old - Start Jr High in the public school system. Begin worst two years of my life.
13 years old - Go on my first extended backpacking trip.
15 years old - Contract Crohn's disease.
16 years old - Meet the Lord.
16 years old - Get in bike wreck. Break my skull in two places.
16 - 18 years old - Have a great time in high school.
22 years old - Get crush on and ask out wonderful girl.
26 years old - Marry wonderful girl.
29 years old - Buy first house.
31 years old - Start working with the youth at my church.
38 years old - Appear in first community theater play.
38 years old - Go on TV game show.
It's been a long road, but it's all good.
Thought for the day -
