Here we go!

OK, I admit, I saw the movie Julie/Julia and thought ah ha, this could be a solution for my problem?. I can possibly blog my way through my 40th year sharing, empathizing and sympathizing with other late 30 somethings who are also feeling that midlife anxiety. Well maybe it's not as much anxiety as it is the reality that I am actually getting older and that I possibly have to start realizing this rather then ignoring it. Not that I am going to assume that turning 40 is all a bad thing but perhaps it's more of a maturity thing. What I mean to say is that for some of who have decide in our infinite wisdom that we are never going to "mature",as it will keep us young, the idea of hitting our halfway mark in life causes us to pause and think "oh shit". And this is exactly what I am struggling with. Do I continue to pretend that I am young or do I embrace the idea of my naturally maturing age and look toward growing older in a more creative and healthy way. (Yikes, even writing that lends to the idea of a sensibleness.)

So I suppose that is going to be the subject of this year less 3 days (my b-day was on the 16th of August) adventure. Let me know what you think and I will try to enlighten you each day with some thoughts, adventures, and possibly some words of inspiration.

Thanks.
