It's a year away. Fifty--half of 100. mid-life. It's just a number and yet it can have such power over us.
Life is changing and I'm a pessi-optimist or opti-pessimist. I struggle to remain in the light and not be dragged to the dark side. I'm moving from one phase into another and I have a choice. I can dread it. I can dwell on all that has passed and moments that will never be again. Or I can celebrate all that is and all that can be. I am choosing to celebrate and I invite you to come along for the ride.
I'm challenging myself to do things I've never done. I will not skydive. But I will break out of my comfort zone and do things that I've never done or put off. It's a pseudo bucket list. It includes the very simple-- try sushi and the more complex-- walk a red carpet. I'll need help. Some days my imagination can abandon me. So share your ideas. Give me suggestions. I reserve the right to modify or reject but I will consider your ideas. And I'll share with you my adventures as I celebrate this wonderful life, broaden my horizons and forge forward into the next fifty.
