Wow, I'm halfway through! Who woulda thunk it? I started writing this blog with little more than a vague notion of what form it might take and a title (and truth be told, I came up with the title first). As with so many things in my life, it was an impulsive move. Unfortunately, acting on my impulses is akin to striking a match; I burn brightly with enthusiasm and energy for a few brief moments before quickly extinguishing. I'm not known for my stick-with-it-ness. And yet... and yet, I've posted something personally meaningful everyday for the last fifty days, just like I said I would. I'm proud of myself, and that's not a feeling I'm all that accustomed to.
This problem of mine -- the big 5-0 -- has turned into an opportunity: a probletunity, according to Urban Dictionary. What a beautiful, affirming word that is. It goes hand in hand with seeing the glass as half full. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
