My online diary
I’ve decided to take the 50 days leading up to my 50th birthday to keep an online account of my thoughts, feelings and experiences. I will be 50, half of 100. It trips me out every time I think about it. 2020 is not only a milestone year for me, it is becoming the year the world stood still. The pandemic has given me the opportunity to really take a look at what is important to me and what I really want out of life.
So far, I’ve realized that
- I don’t want to spend the next 15 years of my life working a 9 to 5
- I should have taken having an emergency fund more seriously
- I value security more than possessions
- I have anxiety around having money
My plan is to post daily, but I am not sure if I have enough to say. I also realize that I am quite boring and each day is just like the next. Anyway I want these posts to be in real time and I know yesterday’s post and today’s post don’t follow that format. I’ve got 48 days to get it right.
