When I turned forty a couple years ago, I did a little prioritizing in my life. I realized that killing myself at work was not going to give me more quality time with my kids or husband. I realized that getting my Masters degree was important to me. I realized that I needed to slow down and take just a few minutes each day for myself (that part isn't working out so well. See my last post). Mostly, I did something of a taking stock of my life thing and decided there were a couple places that needed changing.
Since that time, I have redone my yard (because hey, it was on the list of things to do). I've gone out on a limb and did something racy (that I'm not blogging). I have made more of an effort to call the important people in my life and just say hi. Recently, I painted my bedroom. I'm not liking the color much, but, as I was laying there one night thinking, man, this room needs a coat of paint, at least I wasn't thinking about how I need a life insurance policy or a living will.
Maybe that whole taking stock thing did some good.
