40 Years Later

Wow, what a journey it has been.  At 57 years old I am currently retired and living in southern California.  I try to stay in shape by running on the beach every morning accompanied by  my golden retriever.  I have packed on a few pounds since the good old days when I had a quick metabolism but it was bound to happen.  Anyways, it was just last week that my grandchildren were visiting and I told them about the life I've had and how I reached success.  I have a caring, loving family with four grown children and five grandchildren so far.  I've kept in touch with friends and family and have a close-knit circle.  I have also traveled all around the world, and have been to every continent (except Antartica) and have seen the various cultures and how people live.  That was an amazing experience that changed my outlook on the world.  I was successful in my work and financially did alright, but that is not what matters most to me.  I have seen the world, and can now watch my children grow and prosper while watching the beautiful beach sunset every night.
