Yes, today I am forty-five years old! I can't believe how the time has flown. It seems like just yesterday I was sixteen, hoping that when I turned thirty I would still be feeling young. Thirty seemed so old at the time. Now I'm 45, and 65 doesn't sound old ... or that far away! Luckily my fears did not come true, and I don't feel any different than that 16 year old.
Today also marks two years since Ken and I became the proud owners of our sailboat, now named Nirvana! Yep, we made the deal for Nirvana on my 43rd birthday. Needless to say, that was a pretty awesome birthday! Although we're not as far along in our cruising plans as we thought we'd be after two years, we're pretty happy with the progress that we've made on our sailboat. Part of the fun of cruising is getting there, so we're trying to be patient and enjoy the journey.
We're big fans of "Kid Rock", so I thought I'd share a funny little song that he sang about getting older, called "Forty!". We first heard this song at this year's New Orlean's Jazz Fest and loved it. I think you'll enjoy it too!
I'd say we have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We hope you do too!
Hasta luego ... until then. Mid-Life Cruising!

You youngster. I'm 60 and still feel young. I don't look it though (the young part).
Love the video. Have a terrific day. :)
No worries. I recently turned 56 and can't figure out how I got here. Getting older just gets better ... not all of it, but most of it. Other than pulling a muscle in my back getting the dinghy off the deck and into the water. Recovery takes a bit longer, but hope to leave & go cruising again soon!
Happy Birthday! late of course. It's amazing how the time flies..we've also almost had our boat 2 full years..wow..
