jeffjand wonders why there is so little time.
I turn fifty this coming June and I started thinking about where fifty has brought me today. I have had a breadth of experience that I never would have expected. I’ve worked in so many different occupations. I”ve travelled. I’ve met lots of great people and dated far more beautiful women than I ever deserved. There are good things about where I am and some things that are not so good. I could lose weight. I’ve got some bad habits that I’d like to break. My relationship with my wife could be better. I’ve decided that I want to spend the next year or so trying new things and really getting a feel for the things that I like. I don’t mean flying to Paris or changing gender preferences or anything dramatic. I just mean riding a bike more often to see how it feels, going hiking like I did today, kayaking, those kinds of things. And I hope that as I experience these new things I will be rearranging things a little bit in my present life to move all of it towards a lifestyle that helps me to grow old gracefully.
