40 til 40

Haven’t managed to do any of the tasks I had mentioned in my last post for a potential 41 till 41 countdown. The first days of kindergarten and life in general have proved to be just about all I can manage in the last couple of weeks. There has been…

Well, I’m a day late in getting started, but have decided to do another countdown this year. I debated whether to try this again for 41 so I took a look through my post of all of the things I did in the 40 to 40 countdown last year. Most…

So here’s what I accomplished in my 40 till 40 countdown, I’ll try to put them in order of accomplishment so you can see the ones I crammed in at the very end! post mom opera on blog buy a probiotic call Sarah finish contract sign up for a class…

Well, I made it here to the other side. Here’s what I’d like to share: the last day of my thirties, the final 40 till 40 list, thoughts on the fifth decade. I’ll start with the last day of my thirties. I woke up, went for a walk outside and felt…

So I haven’t written in 2 weeks and only hours remain until my 5th decade on earth begins. How is this possible? I remember turning 20 (somewhat hazily), but I remember lots of other stuff that happened when I was 20 like it was pretty recent history. I don’t want…

I guess today is the halfway point of my 40 till 40 countdown. 20 days down, 20 to go. I have completed 11 items on the list and many more are in progress. What I’ve been finding is that I have time either to get stuff done or to write…

Dave and I were talking about Syria last weekend and talking about what we could do to take better care of the world. To make it a better place for as many beings as possible. We had a bunch of soil in our front yard that needed (needs) to be…

This past weekend was an extra-long long weekend. Our a/c broke on Friday night, we had 14 cubic feet? meters? (a mountain) of dirt dumped in our front yard on Saturday morning (to fill a retaining wall we built in the backyard, down, way down, hill from the dumped pile),…

It seems like every time I post something light or ‘funny’ on Facebook, or anywhere, something really tragic is happening somewhere in the world that just makes me feel like a total jerk for having been happy or silly that day. One of the points of starting this blog was…

A number of items on my 40 till 40 list are things that have been on my various to do lists for months or years (finish my wedding album, for example) (I’ve been married 8 years). What’s been great about this exercise so far is that it has really helped…
