2010 the 50th Year

Folks, this was in many ways the seminal year. I got to the half century mark, something I never imagined or planned to be at when I was growing up. It was such a distant thing. I was amazed by the 'Icomomist' magazine on their feature article this December issue related to the idea that people generally get happier in their old age. Even though individual cases differ a lot on the whole I have to agree with the conclusions. I am a testament to this, I am much more mellow and relaxed over the middle aged hill so as to speak. This year though was seminal in many ways, I got closer to India, did reasonably well in getting my research funding together, and more importantly got a new groove together to follow for the final tryst with life. Most important though is the fact that I can truly claim to be happy.

This is most important thing in a persons life, believe me I have seen things from the other end of the spectrum.
