Out from Retirement

Life is not fair, or just, it just “is”. Nor are we given an opportunity to “undo” anything we might have reason to regret later, unlike the popular shows on tv presently such as “finding erica” and Living on Mars”. As a baby boomer I have enough years under my belt to present to others (that have been in my life a long time) an “identity”. Certainly my “identity” is a sum of my past parts accumulated, but one should not make the mistake of seeing me based on my past. Mistakes I have made aplenty but today I am who I am nothing less. My actions, asperations and relationships today are who I expect to be judged on (if I should be judged at all). I am not unhappy with that, I just wanted it to be clear, I don’t accept my past as the cover of my book, just one of the early chapters.
