I turn 40 in 2019. It weighs on my mind, and it doesn’t. Turning 30 somehow seemed like a MUCH bigger deal. Funny how life and time puts both into perspective. I’m actually kinda excited about that whole thing. It’s an opportunity. I’m old enough to know better, young enough to not care…
When I was a senior in high school, one of my final exams was to write a list of 100 things I wanted to do before I die. I wrote one, aced it, and continued to add to it for a few years. I still have that list. I find it every now and again and chuckle at the things that I wrote then, and how I feel about them now.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about things I’d like to do, goals I’d like to accomplish, experiences I’d like to have. What I want to be remembered for, all that sappy bullshit that’s way more important than anyone wants to admit.
So. I’m going to come up with a list. Forty things I want to experience or accomplish in the year I turn forty. Nothing necessarily life-altering, not necessarily hard, just things I’ve always wanted to do and haven’t quite gotten around to. Or things that I’ve done in the past and always meant to repeat. Besides, I’m a list maker. There’s something super satisfying about accomplishing goals and checking them off.
I guess goal number one will be to come up with this list. Tune in soon, and follow along in my shenanigans. It’ll be fun!
