Well, I am finally moved in to my new place in Camrose. Years ago it was easy for me to move. While in Radio we would move every couple of years. It was quick. It was easy. Now at this age, it is hard, it is tough and it is very nerve wracking. I hope I don't have to move again.
The purpose of the blog is to help me in my aging process. I just need to voice my thoughts and try to make aging an easier process. I am finding it very hard to be older. There was so much in my life that I did not get to do. And now I think.. I wish I could re-live my life. THAT IS THE DUMBEST THING TO THINK OF.
On Friday night I went to a hockey game that the U of A Augustana Vikings were playing in. The crowd was amazing. Young folk, having fun. Their faces were painted. They were cheering, chanting and really making a mark. I thought.. I wish I could be back at NAIT and re-live my life. What a DUMB thought. I realized that in 20 years when I am 75, I will be thinking... "Damn I wish I was 55 again... working, running, entertaining, flirting, and being loved" It really hit home with me...that I have to really appreciate what is going on right now. Yes.. I wish I was 35 again. I wish I was 25 again. I wish I was 40 again. But that is a dumb thought.
I have been doing a lot of research for my goals for 2012. The list is done. One of the research was an article about "Bucket Lists". They had 300 or so items on their bucket list. I looked at it and realized.. I have done over 80 things that they wanted to do! I should be happy with that as there are many people who would be happy doing what I have done in my life....
So onward I go. Appreciate today.. and in 20 years... I will know... I that I lived my life to the fullest.
I wrote a blog about age or something and came to the realization that i can't turn back time, or move it forward, I can't control TIME at all I can only control what i do in that time!! and YES you have done so much and are blessed! PS congrats on the good review
