Just realized in about a month I'll be fifty-six and this blog will be a little over a year old. What does it all mean? Did I learn anything more by keeping a journal of my thoughts? I think so.
Do I plan on keeping up on the blog? Don't know. Possibly I'll retire the "Fifty Five" theme and start another one. If so, I'll probably save these entries to an archive....maybe even print them.
It's funny...considering my history there was every possibility this project could have fallen by the wayside like many others that were picked up enthusiastically then discarded.
So far, so good on this one.
For today, Fifty Five Is The New 56, right around the corner.
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.
