Yesterday was my 57th birthday and today I start learning something new. I am taking an online E-learning course by Moodle. A friend of mine who owns Moodle Rooms has introduced this concept to me and it’s both refreshing and a little scary.

It feels that this birthday is about letting go, trusting and having faith that there is a lot more for me on the horizon. Many times to get what is waiting for you, one has to let go of what is familiar and comfortable to them.

My spiritual companion Henry talks about the difference between the visible hand and the magical hand. The Magical hand has guided me all of my life. There are times that I get caught up in looking for the visible hand, because if feels the most comfortable and secure. When I decided to change my path a month ago, I did not, and still don’t have a visible path to follow. Just a gut feeling that change is imminent and necessary, so here I go.

Hell, at 57 it is time for me to fully jump into the deep end and learn how to swim with a passion and desire that rivals nothing that I have done before. It’s been a wonderful birthday and birthdays are life days. We celebrate our birthdays once a year, but it never really ends.

Birthdays also are not just for the people that are having them; birthdays go out to everyone who’s connected to you. The “All” ask, “who will you receive the gifts of your on your birthday”? I have counted on the magic for most of my life. The Moodle class I am taking on line came to me in a magical way, so it would be dumb for me to switch at this point. My destiny is in the Magic.

Birthdays are reflective times and times to acknowledge what work is yet to be done. This birthday I spent playing golf, watching TV, and learning about Moodle. What a great day and life.

I don’t care if you lick windows,
take the special bus
or occasionally pee on yourself..
You hang in there, sunshine, you’re special

Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Today’s Message of the Day is:

Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.

Send to all the people you love and don’t want to lose in 2009, even me.

If you get 3 back, you are a great companion, if not, your still are.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here we should dance.
