Most of my life I have been an attentive, giving and generous man. At 60, I’m surprised at how self-centered have become.

    I am in my mid-50s and surprised by a few things. I’m not jaded, small things still delight me. I’m not nostalgic, find so much good new music every year, new authors and books, still figure out different ways to approach problems at my work - I thought I’d be more stuck or settled by now, and for sure thought I’d be bored and jaded.

    And I am constantly surprised nothing really hurts yet, thought I’d be less together physically than I am. Sometimes surprised I can still cartwheel.

    I am unhappily surprised to see society going backwards and hope I live long enough to see it turn back around and progress.
