Ten more days until I am 50.  I will know 2 things... My 50's are going to be my best time yet.  I will have a wonderful life, family and the last 2.5 years and then 17 years will fade away as most a pleasant but distant memory.  Love is the key and every day is a challenge to give love, but it is worth all the work.  I am thankful for many things in my life.
