Day 326
I've joked around with people several times the past few months that this blog must be some kind of mid-life crisis for me, an explosion of worry about turning 40. The more I think about it though, the more I remember: I'm happy!
I'm not in crisis mode at all! In fact, if anything, I'm spending so much time doing this project because my life is so good, and because I'm actually a very happy person.
Being 39 is weird though. Someone random I encountered in an online forum recently asked me if I'm actually older, and just lying and saying I'm 39. No, I typed with a sigh, I'm really 39, and if I did lie, I'd probably say 22. I don't feel 39, and I don't think I'll feel 40 either. I honestly don't think I look my age most days either (7 AM sleepy looks in the mirror are another story). Usually though, I think I just look early 30s, and that's fine with me.
So no, there's no crisis here. I love my life, I love my partner, I love my house, I love my job, I love my books, and I love my friends and family very, very much. Life is GREAT! Really! This blog series is just my way of taking a long, hard look at everything, and I'm confident I'll really appreciate it for years to come. I sincerely hope you're enjoying it too.
