90-to-40: Getting back to my future

Day 89

This morning, I woke up to the sounds of hammers and saws outside my front door. The contractors were working on my new front porch entry. They get a much earlier start than I do, so about six  o'clock this morning I woke up and unlocked the front door and went back to bed.

When I got out of bed at about nine o'clock and peeked down the hall, I was greeted with the site of a new front door. This one has a window in it. Sunlight! Ahh, the light of progress.

It was just a sign that my home is finally coming together after months, make that years, of knowing that this place could be much more than it was.

90-to-40: Turning 40

Exactly 90 days from today... I will turn 40!   

(Yes... the"Turning 40 Project" starts today)

Since there are an awful lot of mixed messages in the world about this "particular age." I've decided that it might be worth seeing what the fuss is all about. I mean, turning 40 has never seemed like a bad thing to me. In fact, I've come to realize that there is only one alternative to it - and I don't intend for this to be my epitaph.

It may sound as though I am obsessed with getting older. Quite the opposite, actually. My obsession is with LIVING. Not only living - but living a truly remarkable life. So, maybe there is some magic to the number?
