Half of 70
Life is zooming by.
I’m making a list, or as Mz J calls it a WTF list. (or Why The Hell Not list )
Things I want to do before I’m 70 (She’s going for 50, but I’m slow. It takes me forever to get anything done)
1. Spend a season at Everest BC
2. Hike the AT
3. Hike the long trail
4. Write a book (or, not let the book I am writing kill me)
5. Build a zero impact home with my hands
6. Live each day with love, creativity and compassion
That is all for now. (heh)
As for today, I’m going to clean house. Literally. The place is a sty. Might as well start the new year off on a fresh page.

Happy day to you! I hit the same milestone in 2 months, and I think I need a list too, it is going by too fast.

Hmmm, did I miss something? You said “Might as well start the new year off on a fresh page.” I know I turned 50 in April and that time is completely out of control with how fast it is going, but…..where is my ginkoba?

Happy Birthday! your list is a great one to strive for. I think you’re already doing #6 pretty regularly

Happy freaking Birthday! Maybe I need to make a list like that; yours is great.

Do you want to hike the whole of the AT or just a section of it? The section that goes through Harper’s Ferry and Maryland is lovely. And Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, you spring chicken! As far as I can see, you already accomplished #6, which may be the most challenging one.

Wouldn’t it be killer if we did it together?!?!
Once again - Happy Bday! xox

Happy birthday sweetie!
What a cool idea, the WTF list
I’m sure you won’t have to wait until 70 to get what you want or accomplish it, sounds like your really close to me?
Just let it all in

Wow - how’d I miss this post? Hope you had a great day!
My 35th is this coming October. And all I keep thinking is that it’s halfway to 70 - I’m glad that I’m not the only one. It’s odd, cuz birthdays don’t usually bother me. Except Devin’s. Especially this one he just had. 16. *That* made me feel old. Ish.

“Is that your coy way of saying it’s your birthday?” I asked. And then I saw that others said Happy Birthday, so I guess so. And yeah, way to make me feel old. I’ll be forty-frickin’-EIGHT soon. Eek.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!
