So, as I think about turning 50 next year, I have also been thinking about how to celebrate. Sure, I could go out to a lavish dinner with wine and wonderful food. I could sit on a beach. I could have a party and drink lots of alcohol and eat mindlessly lots of appetizers: just to celebrate my 50 years on Earth. But, I think not. I have actually been jotting some ideas down for what I'd really like to do. If time allows (and I might just have to rearrange my schedule so that time does allow), I would like to set aside some time for high adventure. I'd like to skydive, bungee jump, canoe the Boundary Waters, raft down the Grand Canyon, climb a 14'r, hike 100 miles, bike across the country, scuba dive, and complete an ice climb. Now, I know this is sounding more like a bucket list, but why not?
In fact, now that I think about it, why wait until a "milestone birthday" to do any of it? Why shouldn't we live our lives with adventure?
Here's to LIVING!
