40 and the likes of it.

I am writing this thinking of my bud, who seems to have his intrepid journey of life like the rest of us; entering the 40s. Well…I think most of our 20s we men are mostly searching, searching for stuff and people to do stuff with, and then in our 30s, we are searching for ourselves and solidifying ones’ self as a person clear with their likes and dislikes, and such, and of course wishing we didn’t waste time in our 20s! But its really in the 40s we get introduced to peace, peace with mortality so to speak, importantly peace with ourselves and this world in many ways I think, and realize our most important contribution: “Relevance”. So, I leave you with is my dear friend  you are more relevant now than ever, you are relevant in your daughters life as she cautiously enters into her teens like all our daughters do, you are relevant to your spouse and co-workers as they look to you with trust and dependability. And most important of all, you are relevant to you to be at peace with yourself and win the world or the likes of it for just being you. Take care.
