SO FAR, It’s been what I can only call an “Interesting” year.Among the numerous peaks and troughs in the stormy sea that we, sometimes euphemistically, call ‘life’ (and in my case at least, there are many…), one that sticks in my mind is my recent ‘Hitting Fifty…’, an event, for most, dreaded and/or ignored in turns as we get dragged, sometimes kicking and screaming, towards it.
Now, I need to stress here that I’m in neither camp: I’ve always been a bit cavalier when it comes to my own birthday, even having to be reminded of it in the past, having genuinely forgotten it’s on its way.
