Admittedly, I'm sort of resigned to "aging", but then there's a tinge of me that isn't. Truthfully, I'm more bothered that I have that tinge than by the aging itself. I suppose it might be the natural grief process of realizing I'll never achieve that potential that everyone but me knew about, and I'll never have that wild youth I so often daydream about, all that globetrotting I had envisioned, and my body isn't in the shape I thought it would be in at this age. All in all, those are some heavy disappointments in my mind.
However, there's more to me than my shape, my wiley, well-travelled youth and being that doctor, teacher, big screen star. I am humbled by all the OTHER things I am at almost-40. I'm amazed at all that I've done by now.
So, to honor being forty, I'm going to do a serial post of forty things about my forty years. These things might be inspirational, spiritual, insightful, jokes, trivia about me, recipes, a lil ditty... You get the idea.
Today -- a big announcement:
I've been accepted to the University of Texas at Dallas, home of the Fighting ..... Comets?
I *will* graduate from this school. And it'll be with a real degree. And the plan is to graduate from this school BEFORE My Eldest graduates high school. That gives me eight years.
What's eight more years?
~Whoosh~
The say that life begins at 40. Age is just a number...there is my favorite quotation that relates to this...here it goes..
