hello all

well today is my birthday which inspired me to make a post today. last night right after midnight mrsh. wished me a happy birthday and i kissed her and thanked her. i then said , one day your 20 years old getting married on 3RD street at saint joseph's cathedral in san diego california and the next thing you know your lying in bed in georgia with your wife and your 62 years old. what happened to all those years? where did they go? i can almost bet my parents who are 85 and 82 are saying about the same thing. they probably wake up and say, i was just 62 and now i am in the 80's . when i was in my 20's i would marvel at the old people because for one thing i thought i would never be their age. i wondered what they had gone through in their lives. what had they seen through the years and what had they done. did their dreams come true or not. older people usually had this smile on their faces like they knew a secret, the same secret, and it would take me many years to learn the secret. i think now that i am 62 they looked at all the young people, i was one of them, and thought, some day you will be old like me and then you will know what life is and isn't. you youngsters look at me and laugh and say that poot old guy but GOD willing you wil be where i am at . you don't realize that but i do. it is like a secret that i know and all my old friends know but you youngsters don't . so while you are looking at us and laughing your heads off we know you will be here some day.
i remember when i was young i thought i knew it all . i knew very little in deed. talk about an air head. like most young people , you couldn't tell me any thing. i looked at things a certain way and that would never change, lol. if i just had a nickel for how many times my mind has changed on things.
i had all these ideas of how a man should act. how a husband should act. how to raise my children . i remember telling my bride i wanted a dozen of them. i don't know who i thought was going to pay for a dozen. i had a lot of ideas on how a wife should act . i found out fairly quick i was way wrong on that.
well i am 62 today and i am glad i am here and even happier that mrsh. is here with me. i thought the big c was going to take her from me in 1983. the LORD must have known that i needed her here with me .
well that is it for my post and i hope you liked it. i pray every one will have a great day. i hope in my 62 years i have learned to treat my fellow man well. i pray that my family forgives me for the many mistakes i made along the way.
talk to you guys later.
PART 2 OF THIS STORY. I WROTE THIS POST AND GOT 3 COMMENTS WHICH I READ. THANKS A LOT. MY WIFE WAS IN HERE WHEN I GOT ON THE COMPUTER AND SHE WANTED TO READ MY POST. SHE LIKED IT AND HAD A GOOD LAUGH BECAUSE IN THE POST I SAID AT ONE POINT ,
" you youngsters look at me and laugh and say that poot old guy but GOD willing you wil be where i am at ." SHE SAID, WHAT IS POOT AND SHE STARTED TO LAUGH AND I DID TOO. NO ONE THAT COMMENTED ON THE POST MENTIONED MY MISTAKE ON THE WORD POOR WHICH ENDED UP AS POOT IN MY POST. EITHER THEY MISSED THE MISPELLING OR THEY CAN'T SPELL EITHER OR MAYBE THEY WERE JUST BEING NICE TO AN OLD BLOGGER LIKE ME . PERHAPS MY READERS RETURN TO MY BLOG NOT SO MUCH FOR THE CONTENT OR THE STORY BUT BECAUSE OF MY MANY MISTAKES AND THEY PROBABLY GET A GOOD LAUGH OUT OF IT AND THAT MAY KEEP THEM COMMING BACK FOR MORE. THAT MAY ALSO BE ONE OF THE THE REASONS MY WIFE STAYS ALSO. I CAN STILL MAKE HER LAUGH AND THAT IS NEEDED IN A LASTING MARRIAGE, LAUGHTER.
