Wish it were a happier one, but it's still worth noting. Turned 60 years old, and six years after the death of my wife, Lori. Little disconcerted from reading the statistics and talking with widowers, but most men in their 50s who lose their wives don't make it to 60. Neglect, depression, drugs & alcohol are the leading factors, but I think lack of direction and purpose play a big part. This life is a gift. Live it with a sense of wonder, because you'll never expect the marvels that unfold, and it's the only one you're given. Enjoy the great things, learn from the downturns, but never forget, you may not have been dealt the greatest hand, but you were granted a seat at the table, and the cards were yours to play. jointz, WeednFeed, YACCster and 17 others 9 11 Awards

"Unwritten" was wrote 10yrs ago and it's focus is on us as our own Authors..."Unwritten" would later become "The Book" "The book" Some times the roads laid out in front of us are many...We however do have a choice per say but we can only hope the road we take will bring us to where we wish to be... There will be times that we will need to pause and go over the path we pick and may decide to turn around and go another way or push on...These (life) roads will take us through many things that will try us beyond our thoughts and sometimes beyond self control ... There will be times we feel the happiest times we feel the saddest...Sickness and great health...Financially destroyed and money to burn....Surrounded by friends and family and times we feel alone.... We ourselves are books unwritten and we are our own authors ...We can proof read our writings by reviewing what yesterday has allowed us to write and change tomorrows writings today by correcting our path of yesterday.... Sometimes we ourselves or perhaps friends or family get stuck along a path that was chosen and need a extended hand or a whisper of encouragement Author William W Shepherd Hatchetman, TedsofBeverlyHills, bds1961 and 6 others 9 Awards

That’s pretty young, I’m 65 now. Keep busy I'd say, at this time in our lives we can live as an old man or live as an old man with a young mind and heart. The choice is ours. I'm you lovely wife wants more for you. The spark she saw in you years ago is worth sharing. A person doesn’t always needs a spouse to share their love. You could share your love of humanity with many. Community work pays great dividends and who knows you just might find a special someone. My wife loves every person she meets, she’s just one of God’s workers. A hard act to follow. I’m a work in progress. Cheers TheLastColdBeer and rexbowan 2 Awards

You aren't kidding, we started talking about the guys we knew that turned 50, but never made the next birthday that ends with zero. RIP Tommy Mack, Doug Connerton, Chuck Albert, Brian Grey, Jeff Considine, Jay Kinkin, Marty Klein, Kevin Guerrini, the list kept going until we had to stop... As for me, I'm well blessed & have hit open waters. Looking forward to the coming years, and gaming with all you fine COD'ers. Now, if Dirk would only quit bashing me when my back is turned.
