Half-Century and Beyond

Well, the first day of my 50th year on this planet has been a good one, which bodes well for the next fifty. Transcendental Meditation has made my recovery quite a simple process and as I finished another round, sat on the beach, with the sun beating down, the tide rolling toward me, and such serenity surrounding me me, I knew I was exactly where I should be, with all my grandest dreams laid out before me. 12 years ago, the last thing I wanted was to be alive. How times change, as in that moment I saw all that had gone before as the platform I now stand on to launch into the next void. Why quit when the miracle is always about to happen, with that miracle being the next breath we take and the next beat of the heart. (Photo @jagsbean)
