Today I turn 30 years old. Wow, I’ve been alive for 30 years. Today I think about all of the time I have covered, lingering equally on triumphs and regrets. It’s amazing when you really sit down and try to think of the “past” how unclear it all is. I mean, I lived it, it should be clear but it’s not. Some memories stand out but mostly it is like a thick fog bank, with a lot of searching I can find things but the scenery in general is rather indistinct.
This evening I will think about the future. Even more nebulous than the past, full of maybe’s and hopes, plans and dreams. Opportunities and adventures. It’s the adventures that interest me the most. Today my dad said “Midlife! Half way to retirement!” and it got me thinking. It’s true. My life as a fully functioning, healthy human being is approximately half way over. I really am going to have to get busy to experience everything I’d like to. Day like this make me want to toss in the towel, sell everything I own and become a world wandering itinerant. Instead, I will drive to Portland and retrieve Peter from the airport and enjoy the possibility of our future and our adventures.
Who knows, maybe I can convince him to wander with me!
Thank you everyone for the lovely birthday wishes.
