Almost Six Decades

The reason I started this blog was because I was embarking on my sixtieth year on this planet.  I thought it might be interesting to keep a record of some sort.  I don't know exactly what I thought would be so interesting to record - I guess I'm still trying to figure it out.

I've been around for almost six decades (59 years, 2 months, and 22 days), and I find myself at a point unlike any before in my life.  Most of the time, there were experiences and goals to look forward to:  going to college, getting married, having a baby, moving to a new city, starting a new job.

Right now, the road ahead seems difficult to see, much less navigate.  I've never looked forward to retirement as a goal, and I expect my current semi-retirement to be temporary.  But, who do I want to be, what do I want to do, and where do I want to go?

My Twelve Month Plan is attached to this blog.  It lists a number of intentions and activities for my sixtieth year.  Beyond that, there is a big question mark.  That's what I'll be thinking about over New Year's weekend. 

Stay tuned.
