In a couple of weeks I will attain my 60th birthday, six decades on the planet. I feel pretty good about it, I believe that my best years are still ahead of me, and all I’ve had so far is preparation.

I even have a new phrase for it-I don’t call myself “60 years old,” I call myself “60 years alive.” That is because I feel very much alive, and not “old,” whatever that is. Try that on yourself, that you are X number of years alive.
