I have a birthday coming up and something has change with regard to how I think about that age and what I “ought” to be doing at this time of life. I have had grandiose ideas I have thought I might take on. It has dawned on me, though, that I probably do not have the time and might not have the energy in a few years to see those through to the end. That idea is new enough to me that I know I need to give myself some time to figure out some tractable projects worth of my efforts in the time I have life. That time could be as much as 30 years, but I am sure that only maybe 10-15 could be actually productive time when I am able to work well. Maybe less. So, God willing, I am going to give myself some time, work on the GRIME’s, get our new house build, continue on our Mexico projects, continue my day job for a few more years, and work toward the point where I only work half time or fully retire to do more stuff with Lorena, Kelly, and Christian. But I am going to try to walk and read more while a think about it all for a month or two.
