Thoughts on turning 51

Today is my birthday; I'm 51 years old. A couple of things occur to me:

• You don't get wiser with age, but you do get more perspective.
• The thirty-five years that separate 16 from 51 passes in a heartbeat. Trust me.
• The older you get, the more you become like your true self.
• Age is just mind over matter; if you don't mind, it don't matter.

P.S. How old would you be, if you didn't know how old you were?
