Another decade

I just recently had a Birthday. I'm not usually bothered by getting older because it seems like the older I get the more content I seem to be. This year though ends a decade of being in my forties. Yes, I turned 50 this year, but my forties seem to have flown by quicker than any other decade. It also marks a decade of big changes in my life, changes I wish I would have made in my thirties. You know the old saying, "Youth is wasted on the young"? I'm starting to believe that now.

Although I feel good, and think I look good for my age, I still think about the stuff I haven't done in my lifetime that I may be too old to do now. And then there are those things I used to do that I physically can't do anymore. Age is just a number, right? Well, it may only be a number, but we all have our limitations. I can't spend my Birthdays staying up to the wee hours of the night partying anymore. I really have no desire to anyway.

 I would like to find a travel companion to see the places I haven't seen outside of the U.S. before I get too old to do so. I often think about if I really want to get married again or not. At this point in my life I would probably like to settle down with someone like myself who has already raised a family, and just wants to focus on enjoying each others company. Making plans for when you get older has never really panned out for me. An unexpected thing called life has always gotten in the way of things.

  So, this next decade I have decided to live each day unplanned. I'm not so sure how my OCD is gonna take it, but flying by the seat of my pants will be my new motto. I can't wait to see where I've been, or what I've done by the time I'm 60. Maybe, just maybe, you and I can grow a decade older together when you are reading my blog in the year 2025.
