Middle-aged birthday boy

Tonight I turn 41.  Not sure how I feel about that…it’s been a very eventful seven months, my life is feeling very unsettled right now, lost.  I’ve gained a lot, but also lost a great deal, through my own machinations. 

Still, there is the sense that a new life is ahead. Anything and everything is possible. 

The last time I felt like this I was probably 21, fresh out of Polytechnic with my life ahead of me, trying to decide what to do with it.  That was 20 years ago and it’s all come full circle, with a few new perks gathered along the way, of course.  More maturity, more freedom, financial security.  It’s almost like that classic question, “If you were 20 again, how would you do things differently?” Finding out will be fun.
