Hey Jeff, Happy Birthday for yesterday. There you are helping me sort out my issues without me realising the hurt you are still feeling. Seems as though we might be in similar places.

And as for being 'old', I understand how you feel, but turn the negative into a positive. Think about what is possible to achieve in the next 10 - 15 years - it may blow your mind. Middle age doesnt mean that we are finished - far from it. You have loads of life experience, knowledge, skill which many who are younger would give anything for. Use that experience, knowledge and skill to your greatest advantage, make your own luck. GREAT things will happen.
