Ten Years

I'm thirty-two. I was thinking about that yesterday when I was at an awards ceremony for my profession and a woman who was close to retiring in her mid-sixties) was receiving an award.

I think about all I've learned in my profession in the last eight years and I'm amazed at what I will learn in the next thirty.

Then I look back at twenty-two year old MJ. I thought I knew everything. I thought I knew myself so well. I thought I was so damn mature. Hell I was choosing the person I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. I didn't even know myself!

I'm not smart enough now to know what I don't know or how I will change. But at least I'm smart enough now to know forty-two year old MJ will have a good chuckle at thirty-two year old me.

I look forward to it!
