who, me? speak to soon? never.....

Last Friday, I stated that turning 40 was a piece of cake, or something along those lines.  Evidently, there's a delayed reaction to it.  The past three days, I've felt much older.
 
I thought I had succombed to another sinus infection, and probably did.  However, there was a fever along with it, so I probably had some kind of virus to go along with it.  I told Susie Monday that as good as I felt Friday when the Moffitts were in town, that the way I felt was 180 degrees in the opposite direction. 
 
It's rare that I get sick.  Even with sinus infections, I get a z-pack from my doctor and keep on plugging.  Not this time.  This thing knocked me on my butt, called me names and taunted me for about 48 hours.  I'm operating at about 60% today, with the fever gone but energy lacking.  But a little better is better than how I was feeling.

Meg made me a great poster-sized collage of pictures from my first 40 years, and put a song lyric caption with each picture or group of pictures.  My favorite one was from Tim Mcgraw.  And while I'm not too fond of country music, I'll have to admit that the lyrics were very appropriate.  Here they are:
 
My Next Thirty Years - Tim McGraw

I think I’ll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it’s time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I’m gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done
Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears
And I’ll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I’m gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I’m doing here In my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, In my next thirty years
In my next thirty years

Thanks, Tim.  Couldn't have said it better myself.....
