50 is a number that gets out attention - half a century and all that. After a few weeks of being 50 I came to realize it is just a mile post on a journey. It may well be that the best part of the journey is yet to come so keep your eyes open so as not to miss it. It helps to maintain an 'appetite' for the journey so follow all the trite advice in Readers Digest or Ann Landers; plenty of sleep, eat your veggies, don't sweat the small stuff, and so on and so forth.
