50
My friends are turning 50! Fortunately I am still a year away from that foreboding concept, that chapter in life that seems so, so, so.... hmmm - can't think of a good word yet. So, so final - terminal, even antique. 50 isn't really that different than 49, or even 48 - but when you change the 4 to a 5 in the number 49 - the significance of 50 revolves around describing yourself as being half of one century old. The significance events in your 40's are children graduating from high school, high blood pressure medication, mid-life crisis and.... forgetfulness - maybe. I can't quite recall. I have a daughter engaged to be married, a son who is graduating from college and another daughter who is going to finish beauty school. Perhaps the most important benchmark is still being in passionate love with my wife. 50, hmmm.... I will be okay!

Okay, Brain Dancer, give us some more. The intentional free-for-all two-stepping back and forth between your dendrites and axons is just too valuable to be kept to yourself. My dance partner, the Holy Spirit of God, whispered softly in my ear, "50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55...their each just the privilege of being one year closer to home." Love ya, brother. My best to Lori.
