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.

Thoughts on the New Year 2010

2010....I wonder how this year is going to be?  It's still new enough to pose that kind of question.

Will we as a species improve ourselves, come upon any understandings that make peace possible?  Will we invent something to take away suffering or ease the ravages of disease?

I wonder.

Some folks are very stoic when it comes to our future.  They see us as edging closer and closer to our own self-imposed destruction.  They can't believe that anything else is possible.  And there are even some that want to hasten that event....sounds crazy to me, but hey! What ever floats your boat.

Personally, I hope the coming year brings some level of peace, some sort of sense amid the chaos brewing 'round us in the world.  I pray the United States does away with its hypocrisy and starts dealing truthfully with the rest of the world.  Perhaps doing that would help lessen the hatred others have for us as a nation.  Perhaps. It's what I pray for, among other things.

For today, Fifty Five Is The New Thoughts on the New Year...thoughts of hope and peace.
