Ever find yourself walking around with the distinct feeling that your head was securely up your hind end, and the only thing keeping you from running into telephone poles was sheer dumb luck? That's me today, in triplicate.
Not like the day was awful; to the contrary! Most folks were going about their business with smiles on their faces....birds were tweeting....flowers blooming, and me.....with a case of cranial rumpitus! Can't seem to say or do anything right, everything-even my hair growing seems to cause friction. Gee whiz!
Today should be a write-off...there should be a refund of the hours spent in it!
But-I am not going to look at today like that. No. These hard days are there for a reason...what doesn't kill us makes us strong....all those words of wisdom.
So for tonight Fifty Five Is The New View-no longer with my head up my ass, at least able to see where I'm going.
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.
