Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Begins In April. The 21st To Be Exact. So It Doesn't Sound So Complicated Today Is My Birthday. Yep You Guessed It, My 58th. I Look At Life In General Like A Book. In Your Book Of Life Hopefully There Are Many Chapters.
Tomorrow Begins Chapter 59. I Have No Idea What Chapter 59 Holds For Me But I Hope For Peace And Love In My Life. Sometimes When I Look Back I See Happy Times And Sad Times. It's Incredible How Much A Person Can Accumulate Throughout The Years. I Am Referring To Life's Memories, Life's Moments.
Today My Parents Took Me Out To Eat To Celebrate My Birthday. Yes That's Right, My Parents. I Suppose I Am Blessed To Have Both My Parents At My Age. They Are Still Rather Active And We Try To Be Involved In Each Others Lives. 58 Years Of Memories Of Them And Other Family Members Are Precious To Me. My Childhood Memories Sometimes Seem So Vivid And I Can Replay Those Moments In My Head Many Times Over. 1967 I Feel Was The Very Best Moment Of My Life. I Was Only 12 Years Old. It Was My Last Year Of Little League Baseball. It Was Also The Year I Met Billie. We Met In Church One Sunday Morning. Her Cousin Brought Her To Sunday School. That Was The Day. Do You Understand What I Mean By That? Most Everybody Has Them. Fate. For Example My Being Would Not Be In Existence If It Weren't For My Parents Of Course. It Was Fate That Brought Them Together. My Father Worked At A Furniture Store. On His Dinner Break He Would Go To A Restaurant. This Particular Evening The Restaurant Was Closed. He Found Another Small Restaurant. My Mother Had A Waitress Job There. That's How They Met. If It Weren't For Fate That Night I Might Not Be Here. There Are Many Chance Meetings In A Lifetime. For My Parents It Was In The Winter Months Of 1952. Their Chance Meeting Is The Reason For My Being.
I Was Born In 1955. 58 Years Of Fate And Memories Have Been Built Ever Since. I Am Sure There Will Be More In My Future And Yours. Fate Plays A Very Large Part In Our Lives. We Just Don't Take The Time To Notice And Smell The Flowers.
When Fate Happens To You, Which It Will, Smile And Be Thankful For It. Everything Happens For A Reason. That Reason May Not Be Relevant At The Moment, But In Time It Will.
