Easy Does It

You have to like people who dont sweat everything. I wish I was one of those people but I am sadly not. I worry and kvetch, and thrash over small details in my mind. I try to let the small stuff go, but its hard to make those kinds of changes in your mental make-up. I am getting better, to be sure, but I am not where I would like to be. I have become slightly more easy going, partly because of the pace of life in AK. But partly because I didnt always like who I was. And there were always plenty of people to remind me of my faults. But I digress. The first 47 years were good bad awesome awfull remorable and quite forgettable all at the same time. I am sure many of us could make the same claim. Some might leave out an adjective or two, but I dont know anyone who has lived a perfect life. Unless they are lying out their asses.

Whats the point of all this? I am making small changes to my life, adjusting on the fly. I am highly motivated to do so. I dont want the next 47 years to be like the last ones.

Good for you to learn and grow. It's never too late. I'm finding that out myself at the same age as you. Just because life is half over doesn't mean the next half has to suck!
