10.1.10

So it begins. On my list of 40 by 40 I decided that I wanted to write on my blog every day for one year. I am sure that this will lead to more than just 365 entries, but it’s a way to get me a little more disciplined. JD, a friend from work had a great idea of writing a book about my experiences getting through my list! I am giving her the credit and I hope when it’s her turn, she does it! For me… I am going for it!

It started yesterday when I turned 39! I still can’t believe it! I am sure I am just like everyone else, I don’t feel 39, but really, what does 39 feel like? It feels like 38, but what did that feel like? I keep hearing I don’t look 39, great, but what is it supposed to look and feel like? As I have heard, age is mind over matter, if you don’t mind, it don’t matter! Sounds good to me!

My birthday started with a bang! I got fantastic gifts, then I hopped on my motorcycle to the social security office, changed back to my maiden name, [that only took 2 years!] then went car shopping, didn’t get anything, then took scuba diving lessons. Does that sound like I am slowing down? Not on your life! They say that 40 is the new 20, so look out kids, I’m only 19!

Changing my name was perfect on my birthday,  a new birth of sorts, what better day to do it on? I am living each day to the fullest, some days I seem to hit the wall, but who cares! Maybe there’s a mattress on that wall and I just bounce right off to get up and go do something else!

I think this 40 by 40 list is the perfect way to help me keep that momentum going, I have a lot to accomplish on that list and I do not intend to fail! So, watch out world, here I come! [wow, part of that sounded inspirational, part of it waaaay cheesy, just like me!]
