45 Today and don't feel a day over 55 Oh Well.

LOL my kids today were getting ready for school and say Happy 55th Birthday to which I replied thanks but I'm only 45 today.

Thus goes my tough life I guess. It puts battle scars on ones skin and soul but facing down your demons brings new life, recovery, and accomplishment. I mean how could I be 45 today had I not survived those moments when it felt like life was over?

At 45, I have seen 2 wars and was born at the end of a 3rd. One of which still rages in the middle east and should continue until we are all safe from Global terror.

I have been through a number of JOBS or Just Over Broke and every one of them I rose to management to always hit a ceiling, stall, burn out, and move on. In a way it was my Entrepreneur Spirit getting the best of me as I hated making other people millions while I myself stayed just above low income.

I was through a couple toxic relationships that had me give up on getting married.

I was left by my first love who had a husband I didn't know about and my first fiance by the drug dealer I didn't know about. Mo joke, I was young and naive. But just when I gave up and decided to play the field I found my wife of nearly 19 years.

With my loving wife I have 7 children, 1 step-son, and twin granddaughters we have yet to meet. My oldest will turn 18 in January they grow up too darned fast.

I have survives a Nervous Breakdown, Diverticulitis, and more than my share of close calls. Still, I am fairly healthy and am I losing weight again nearly 60 pounds already and getting smaller. Sadly I was nearly 380 at one point because of a slow heal from my surgery.

But today I have my God, my family, and my business to keep me going and give me good grace and a firm belief I can achieve more and reclaim a life that saw me be part owner and CEO in a search engine and social media hybrid with a business partner 10,000 miles away. What a 9-year story that one is.

I am also, after all of these years writing my first full on book. No more small reports this one is for Kindle and needs to be GOOD. I am also working on plans for my first blog on my passion for baseball coming next spring so look out for Grand Slam City, especially if you love the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Today I may feel that 55 but I am just 45 and have a ton of life left in me.
