John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Random Thoughts

jyb_musingsI just got asked by a friend (jokingly)

“What will you do with yourself now that you are over the hill?”

My answer: “Find a new hill.” (Seriously)

What if life really isn’t like a box of chocolates?

Then what?

Do I try to make a paradigm shift in my world view at age 50?

Or am I too old to hassle with a world view paradigm shift and better off just continuing to insist life really is like a box of chocolates?

Frankly, I hope I never have to make this choice but this is the burden of having a deeply philosophical mind.
Even if you are shallow.

I was told years ago by a very wise mentor, “It is what you learn after you know it all that counts the most.” 

Amen to that!

I am a bad man.

Dropping Hamiltons at Walgreens at 10pm on a Wednesday night.

The 24 hour Walgreens too.

May even come back later tonight for multivitamins.

Or Ovaltine.

Or not.

I don’t even know.

It’s crazy.

My wife’s birthday and mine are both coming up soon…

And made me wonder if young people say things on their birthdays like “14 is the new 11” or “8 is the new 5” or “This is my my 12th birthday–for the third year in a row.” 

Or if they just have their birthdays for whatever age they are.
