THIS is it! This IS it? This is IT!
August 7, 2011 I wrote--On the verge of 50; single, dreaming, and three sons on their way in life. Why not? Dream big otherwise its just a to do list™, said Kim Lyons. My thought, I don't need anything to do; always plenty on that list. Hmmm, why not? What's money anyway? Is that what 50 is all about? Looking back on one-half a century and reminiscing about all the wonderful things that happened in life, quickly fast-forwarding through the questionable moments and wondering why dreams sometimes come to a halt. Woah, is the glass half empty or half full?
"Ask for what you want", says Val Miller. "Get mouthy this decade", says Teri Berglund. That's it. I want the dream to become real. Can I do it? I don't know. May I do it? Why not. Well, what would others think? Wait a minute, does it matter? What about money? Hmmm, really? Well, safety? Right!?!
I'm listening Amy Hinman, 'We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.' I promise, I'll behave myself. I'll make my momma proud. The glass IS half full! I can still fulfill my dream of traveling when I retire; plenty of time. All I need to do is plan...
Here it is...
Get married, have children, raise three awesome boys, get a divorce, figure out life, go back to college, earn a Bachelors degree. Not enough this day and age? You're right, better get a Masters degree, pass the CPA exams....yes, by the grace of God...take a job with a noticeably different company, that's it! Turn 50; life is good! I'm well on my way. Life is beautiful, right?
Beautiful Life
