Thoughts on a Birthday

Sort of random, but it is my birthday, and these are just some ideas that occur to me around it.

    1. I can't believe I'm this old.

    2. Really, it's just another day.

    3. In my head, I'm still in my 30s or so.

    4. Weird to think that I probably have fewer years left to live than I have had at my current job.

    I've been at my day job for over 30 years. While it's conceivable I could live into my 90s, it's not likely.

    5. Slowing down seems right.

    Not quitting. Just taking a sabbatical and figuring out what I really want to do next.

    6. There are a lot of ships that have sailed.

    I'm not going to hike all over the Smoky Mountains any more like I used to.

    7. There are more ships still that could be boarded—maybe still being built.

    There are still new things ahead.

    8. Everyone else my age looks so old!

    9. Perspective. The same pain that would have sent me to the ER 10 years ago is just everyday now.

    10. It used to be when I dropped something, I picked it up. Now, I look at it for a bit and ask myself, "Do I really need that?"
