Okay so technically I am not 40 yet, but it's cool. I plan to chronicle my 40th year on this planet. There are several things I want to do during my 40th year and I hopefully will accomplish at least a few of these things. Some of the things I will keep to myself but some of the things I will publically admit to wanting to accomplish. I will not consider myself a failure if I have not accomplished these things as long as an honest effort was put forth.
Things to do in 2009:
1. Train for and attempt to complete a marathon (walking some will be fine)
2. Relearn the guitar. (I used to play a little in the past)
3. Strengthen my Spanish speaking, writing and reading skills
4. Lose 75 pounds (and not gain it back)
5. another thing to be decided later but have not figured out what this may be yet.
I will not face 2009 and the age 40 in fear but with a sense of adventure and the freedom to do what I need to and want to do. As a friend of mine recently told me -- at my age I have earned it.
