14,600
As in days.
14,600 days on this earth = 40 years.
On the one hand, that sounds like an awful lot.
Then again, given the vastness of life and universe and all that dwells among us, it doesn’t seem quite so magnificent.
I suppose you if you split that number in half (7,300 days), that would be my “adult” half of life. SEVEN THOUSAND PLUS days on earth. To laugh, to learn, to love. And how have I done so far? Good question.
I can say with full clarity that there is a seismic shift happening. Not to be dramatic, but I think I’m going through a massive transformation. I sure as hell hope that’s the case. Where I’ve been has been great, but I’m nowhere close to where I’m going.
Here I am.
Nearly 40.
I want to remember this chapter well. So I’ll write it down.
And I’ll share it with the hope that it will connect me to others that are stumbling through their own 40th chapter, or perhaps have already passed through and can share some endearing milestones and comic relief. No matter the outcome, this becoming is happening and I want to lean into it, fully.
Let’s go.
