I'm not a big believer in making New Year's Resolutions, at least partially because I don't believe in setting myself up for failure. But for some reason about half way through January this year, it kind of hit me that I will be turning 40 this summer.
Wow. Forty.
I remember when my dad turned 40 and how old I thought he was back then. Now I wonder if he felt as young as I still do. It's true what they say... it's all about perception.
So, while it is not a New Year's resolution, I have decided that this year I will start living life with fewer regrets, even if it means stepping outside of my comfort zone. I don't want to look back at 60... 70... 80 years old and say, "Boy, do I wish I would have tried/done/experienced that when I had the chance!"
You may wonder what some of my 'goals' are, for lack of a better word. Well, I don't have many... most of them crop up when I least expect them to and are shot down in the next thought. A lot of them are forgotten, and others stay just below the surface. They are what I dwell on in my daydreams.
The 3-day walk is one that I've thought about for a number of years, and as you probably have figured out, I've taken the ball and run with that dream. Every single day it is causing me to do something outside that comfort zone... and so far it hasn't hurt one single bit.
Yay for me! As long as it doesn't mean I am all of a sudden growing up. *wink*
