It's my birthday

I really believe that I didn't start living until I turned 50. I feel like it all started to come together when I turned 50. Today, I'm 53. My body sometimes tells me that I'm 50 but my mind never does. But something has happened. I feel wiser. Wiser without going to school or anything like that in the past few years. I just feel like I'm beginning to figure things out. I might even be slowing down a little bit but really, for me, that's a good thing. I usually exceed the speed limit in everything that I do. I'm more content and I want more down time and I want the most out of life that I can get. This year brings a lot of promise for me. I've made some decisions and this year will be challenging and yet very rewarding. I'm not going to make any resolutions (sure) but I'm going to strive to do a few things that I have in place.

1. to continue working out to keep myself healthy.
2. to go to school.
3. to save as much money as I can for one whole year.

If I am to be honest though, I don't know if it will matter how much money I save, I don't know if I will ever get to a place that I think it's enough. I'm excited about trying this little exercise though and I'll let you know how it's going.

I'm still on track to participate in the half marathon in the spring also.

Not much else here...I'll figure it all out. I'm just too tired to do it tonight.
