TEN THINGS I LIKE ABOUT TURNING 70

1. I’m married to a most attractive and fascinating woman – even if she’s smarter than me.
2. We’ve settled in a good place, with good friends. Survived to get here.
3. Our two kids are way, way above average – and we’ve never had to post bail for either of them.
4. I’m not trailing an oxygen tank or using a walker.
5. I have a prodigious amount of literary writing to my credit. I’m actually proud of most of – I’ve written what I want.
6. After a remarkable life journey, I have perspectives that sometimes feel like wisdom.
7. My spiritual practice keeps deepening.
8. I haven’t run out of great things to read.
9. I’ve never sung better, and maybe the same can be said for my dancing – New England contras and traditional Greek. Never knew about either of them as a young man.
10. Somehow, we’re able to pay our bills. Most of the time.
