Lessons Learned from my 50’s

So…I have exactly 175 days until I turn 60. Roughly 6 months. Nothing magical happens at 60, I mean, I already qualify for a senior discount at most places. AARP sends me junk mail weekly. I’ve been reminded already to have yet another colonoscopy, mammogram and bone density test. So…I’m not sure what the big deal is other than it marks the turning of another decade.

I was hit with the thought, however, of where do I want to be in 6 months? What could I accomplish? What could I give up? Could I actually make a journey entry every day for 6 months? Could I actually get the book of poetry organized? Could I lose the weight that I gained while I was 59?

And of course, that lead to me to thinking of what I’d accomplished or maybe just learned during my 50’s. It seemed a solid place…
