I turned 55 this year, and like most people, I've had my ups and downs. This year seems like a good one, but I have been thinking about things I have yet to do, or have let fall by the wayside. I suppose it's part of the realization that I have (probably!) passed the halfway point in life.
Part of that has to do with the fact that I have been alive longer than either my mom or brother, 53, and 54, respectively, when they passed. So, I suppose it is only natural to reflect on what is behind me in life, as well as what is ahead of me.
I still have dreams and goals, some very 'pie in the sky' and some far more prosaic. I wouldn't call them Bucket List items, that's too lofty a term; opportunities, maybe is the word I want. Opportunities to just jump in the car and drive to see where I end up; the opportunity to ride in a hot-air balloon, or just to wander around with a camera to see what I can see.
I've chosen to call this blog 'Driven' because I love to drive - my commute for work is 75.5km each way. And because, at age 55, I find myself to be more driven - not in the goal-driven sense, but to do more, to be better, to get better. Perhaps even to live better.
Honestly, I can't wait to see what is next!
