At thirty I was determined, committed to a no regrets kind of life. There were things I wanted to do and I just somehow did them. I had courage, wasn't cynical, believed things were possible.
I still have those feelings, sort of...still believe in possibilities, still have a bit of courage and am fighting my personal battle against cynicism.
To that end, I declare today as the new Thirty!
I'm gonna drag those dreams out of the attic, brush off the dust and believe in possibilities.
Who says I can't trust anybody over thirty?
When I was heading toward my Double Nickel Birthday in April 2009, the age 55 seems to be a lot of things. In this blog I will chronicle my thoughts about 55 Is The New, for the year beginning December 2009 because...well...that's when I felt like starting the blog. The entries will include that important day, my actual Fifty-Fifth birthday on April 14, 2010 and will continue for my entire fifty fifth year, concluding on April 14, 2011.

Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!
Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.
