Happy Birthday to me.
For the last few weeks, I've been thinking about starting a blog to document my life at 40. I was wondering if I was going to get around to doing it. I have a lot of "good ideas" but I seem to let them fall to the wayside more often than not. So getting this blog started is an accomplishment in itself.
Today I turned 40. To be quite frank it doesn't feel much different thank 39. Nothing much changed from yesterday to today. Not that I expected it to. I just thought I'd mention it.
I'm not really sure what to expect from my 40's. Assuming I'm alive for the next 10 years, there will be some pretty significant milestones:
- Both my kids will graduate from high school.
- Both my kids will learn to drive.
- I'll be married for 28 years.
- I'll pay off my house.
I feel like I wasted my 30's. I did what I had to do to get by, but I don't feel like I did anything extraordinary. Hopefully, when I look back on my 40's I won't feel the same way.
Right now, I'm outside enjoying a cigar and a glass of Pinot Noir.
Happy Birthday to me.
