Fdip283: Life 2.0

Published: Jan. 19, 2012, 5 a.m.

b'Today is my 50th birthday. \\xa0\\n\\nI was born at exactly 7:48 PM Eastern Standard Time in the maternity ward of Milton Hospital on Reedsdale Road and Highland Street in the town of Milton, Massachusetts on January 19th, 1962.\\n\\nTurning 50 feels good, because it\\u2019s good to be alive. \\xa0The milestone reminds me to take a walk break in this race, and turn to look behind me to see how far I\\u2019ve come. \\xa0The past 50 years of life included great joy, terrible sadness, and the agony and ecstasy of blood, sweat and tears\\u2026but I wouldn\\u2019t trade any of it.\\n\\nRegrets I have, many in fact: but those regrets are all part of a life well lived: a life, lived to its top.'
