Well I turned 49 in Feb
, and I have never felt my age
. Happy birthday to ya
. I have been married twice before and finally found a good woman who looks at life pretty much the same way that I do. It has been a rough life for me, but we have to focus on the good parts. We have 8 kids between us. 5 of them are from my previous life. If you look at my other thread "Life changing events" you may have seen that my 2nd wife passed away (35) in Feb (on my b-day), and we are now acquiring custody of my 3 youngest children (9, 11, & 12). Life is much too short to worry about the little things like how old you feel. Enjoy every minute of it, and what God has given to you.
I just started getting into RC a few years ago (thanks to my wife), because I have always been to busy trying to deal with everyday life situations, and keeping my head above water because of the crap my EX's have put me through. I grew up living in the Philidelphia projects and had a pretty crappy childhood as well, but my Mom had always told me to be happy with what the good Lord has provided for me. I never understood that as a young man, but I do now. I am lucky to have what I do, and there are always people out there doing much worse. Focus on the good and learn from every experience Good or Bad. Age is relative, and time keeps marching forward weather we want to grow up or not. Find happiness inside of you, because no matter what other people think of or do to you life just keeps comming at you.
8 kids from ages 9 to 28 and we love every one of them. We hope some day to have our own little piece of property as well, and want our kids and grandkids to come over and have race day family events with my RC toys. For now we travel with the US Government all over the world and try to enjoy every day that we are given, no matter where we may get assigned. Brussels today, Korea tomorrow, and who knows from there. Life is good.
Find what makes you happy and stick with it.
