Set the intention.

As I creep closer to the celebration of my five decades, I find myself not only musing about my life and its lessons, but wanting to somehow make those thoughts, those mistakes, those lessons, those moments more concrete, more.. permanent.

I suspect this is natural and normal.

I am not unique.

I may have a unique perspective.

I certainly have a unique style of expression through writing.

So maybe I can write, and make concrete, things other people only feel or think or do.

And maybe there’ll be an audience interested enough to read it.

Maybe they will read it only to judge it.

Maybe they will read it only to identify with it.

Maybe they will read it to pass the time while taking a shit.

Or maybe they will never read it at all.

All of the above is part of the plan.

I write this for me

For the next 50 days I will share tid bits, lessons learned and random musings from a half century on this planet.

No formal structure or length or agenda. Just the documentation of the processing journey toward that monumental birthday.

Let’s see where this road takes me…us.
