Lessons learned:

1) Being 38 is just that, you're not 28 anymore lol!

2) Know your limits....yea right....

3) Enjoy life and always keep a positive outlook!  

If you look at life for what it's worth and continue to be positive, then getting older is not so bad.  It's appreciating what you have (especially family), learning new things and growing up!
