Turning 40
February 22, 2010
It even just sounds weird to say it. I don’t feel old – I do feel older. To me the mid to late 30′s always seemed to be the
Warning - What Ever!
perfect age for the activities and adventures I like to do. Saying that I’m 40 makes me feel like I should be slowing down, maybe trying to find easier activities. I have slowed down the past few months, but that is because of gaining weight, not because I’m telling myself to take it easy.
So, I’ve decided to not slow down, or feel old. I’ve decided to keep going. I’m sure a day will come where my thoughts and actions start to slow – but that day isn’t here yet.
I turned 40 today and all I can think about is the next adventure, the next draw and spark of enthusiasm, the next logistic session, the next new crazy extreme sport that I can get in to. Its a good feeling to think that way, and I suppose I should be thankful to be able to think that way. Oh and I better get my drivers license renewed when the DMV resumes service again.
