| | | | As I have hit the big 50 this year I have started reflecting on life a little bit more than usual. Some of my core beleifs are changing while some are stead fast. |
| | | | | I am quite happy with who I am in real life. I have climbed to my goals in my working life and probably achieved my once set goals in my personal life years ago. Once I lived for tomorrow, - I learned to live for today with yesterday as a reminder of what things not to do; tomorrow may never arrive. I am blessed with 2 beautiful daughters who display a certain independence and character which makes me often think of my own youth and beyond. My beautiful partner in life has me walking in the clowds 24/7 and we share a life which I had only dreamed of once. I love the good things in life yet I am not a material man. Travel, indecent moments for the both of us, the sun, good food and friends. Conversations, sunday morning brunch by the ocean are a few of many of my likes; windowshopping, breathing fresh air, my 2 dogs, peace at mind and in the world and much more to mention. When one settles down and situates oneself into a comfortable position reflecting ones age and supposed purpose in life one can easily fall into a cave called 'middle age'. I love the saying: "Lile is either an exhillerating experience - or nothing at all". True, if it was less than that I would prefer death.
I have not yet fulfilled my real dream. Bicycle around the world for 3 years. (in the stage of planning.)
