Countdowns on…

What do you do when you are facing the dreaded 50 year old birthday and the kids are grown.? Well you go into denial of course.

I am 8 months away from my 50th birthday. But if truth be told, half the time I don’t even remember how old I am. Or at least my mind likes to pretend that the big five 0 is not approaching as fast as a via train that’s running behind schedule.

I look at my life and I really can’t see anything the I have contributed to this world, other then my amazing children. This should be enough but I feel the need to leave my footprint on this earth before my time comes to an end. This is how most people must feel, I am sure. However, it doesn’t stop me from staying up nights wondering how to achieve this. You see, I am just an average person living an average life and really don’t have any skills or talents that I can carve my mark in. So I search the internet for something that I can do that gives me such purpose. But at this point I must confess it is like looking at old cave drawings for the answer. The pictures are there, but deciphering their meaning is something else.

So here I make my documented start on the journey to my carbon footprint and finding my purpose after the kids are gone to start their own life journey down their own yellow brick road. So buckle up as I anticipate the journey to go down a bumpy road to the answers I seek from the great wizard.
