Happy birthday old friend ... welcome to the ranks of the fun fifties! They are even better than the forties we have found. As I am a mere 2 years ahead of you (and Melissa one month) we get to reconnaissance these things in advance of you.
Here's the report so far:
You will find the 50's are more fun than the 40's. I am fitter now than I was in my 40's - hope you will find the same. We are definitely much wiser than we were in our 20's and 30's. Haven't needed Viagra or Cialis ... although the idea of a 4-hour erection is intriguing!
The world is just as messed as it was in our youth - only the enemies have changed. There is still evil in the world but there will always be good. If we look for good we will still find it. If we seek truth it will find us. If we sow love we will reap love ... some things don't change with age.
I read the news today oh boy, 4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire (1967) I read the news today oh boy, the Arctic to be ice-free in ten years (10/09) Bad news for some with beachfront property / good news for others because they will now have beachfront property. In the folds of every setback is an opportunity of something greater to happen. All things happen for a reason for a season. Wisdom of the 50's.
And then there is the fascination with the Cheetah that we both share. The lion is said to be majestic, the leopard ferocious and shrewd. But swift, elegant and graceful best describes the cheetah. And that best describes you my friend, Willie.
Swift thinking
Elegant creativity
and full of grace.
That's our friend Willie.
My wish for you for the next 50 years:
that you be of swift foot and mind;
that you continue to elegantly bless all that cross your path;
that you receive the grace you deserve.
Be the Cheetah!
Happy Birthday!
Enjoy your next 50 years.
Love you lots ... Andrew & Melissa Szabo
