I was reflecting this morning on my life. No, I’m not having a crisis but I was thinking about something significant. I realized that God willing I probably have more life ahead of me then I have behind me. The scary part is that so much of what I have done up to this point has been relatively exciting a new. Getting married, having kids, graduating all of those things had such significance attached to them. Now nearing my second half of life I was thinking about what things will now have significance. It scares me to think that I am probably not to far away from being that guy who comes home at night, sits on the couch watching tv and having a drink.
I have a feeling the 2nd half of life will have a lot more challenges than the first half. Gone are the built in challenges of school, marriage and babies to overcome. Gone are the figuring out what to do with my life and learning so many things for the first time. My guess is that the second half of life will be about a lot of relearning things and reapplying that which I knew so long ago. As I thought about it I got a little excited thinking that if I knew then what I knew now how much better off I’d be.
Of course I write this sitting on a couch watching tv…….
