I have come to the realization that over half my life is over. I have spent the last thirty years punching a time clock, paying bills, being responsible. I have spent the last twenty of those years raising children; putting their needs above my own, not getting enough sleep, worrying and striving every day to be 'the perfect mom'. In four short years, my youngest will be legally an adult. Oh, I know I will still worry, but the daily push-me/pull-you of life should lessen.
I want to read the classics. I want to sleep more than five hours a day. I want to spend a month at the beach. I want to travel---nothing as exotic as Europe or Asia...I'd just like to visit some of the places in the good old U.S. of A. that I have been reading about my whole life!
So, how about you? What would you like to do with your second half? What have you already done or what are you in the process of doing?
