I turn 40 this year..

Last night Rick and I went to a reunion concert of a band that is made up of some of Rick's old friends form high school. I was a very enjoyable evening but made me a bit contemplative. A bunch of us turn 40 this year. In fact, I am going to another 40th birthday party next weekend.

My friend LD decided last year that she wanted to train for a marathon which she ran 2 months after her 40th birthday, and George planned a reunion concert and now I am thinking.. what is something big I would like to do for my 40th birthday? We've talked about a big trip to Europe but I want to do something that will take some time and discipline to prepare to for this year. Something I have to stick with...

I know I need to lose weight, but I really want a goal for this weight loss. Right now, I am thinking a 5 or 10 k race by the end of the summer when my birthday is. I don't know. I don't want to copy what LD did, but I have always dreamed of running races, but the baby fat that stayed and multiplied after T and Cam has kind of made me lazy.

I would write a book, but that is more Rick's thing... Maybe audition for some local theater productions? Maybe write a script? I do not know what I want to do, but I want something big.. something to work for.. a bit of a quest..

Any suggestions out there? I know I have very few (if any readers) but if you have happened to stop by and have any thoughts.. please feel free to share!!
