Golden Girls is on in the background. It’s a pretty timeless show, I mean the relationships between the characters are what I believe really holds the show together. That being said, there are times when the show isn’t familiar to me, that’s because those ladies are in the forth quarter. They’ve lived through life’s first three quarters, childhood, getting it all together, parenthood, now these ladies are just sitting around a table drinking coffee waiting for it to be over. Blunt, I know. But essentially we’re all going along the same path, just how exactly we travel it is what will separate us. (By all of us, I am making a huge assumption that the majority of people reading this are healthy individuals living in developed counties)

I want to make sure my second quarter, my chance to get my life together, is what cements my happiness. The first quarter I fell behind a bit, but I wasn’t playing my best. (Sorry about the sports analogies, they are going to come often and always) When you finally figure out what you need to do to live the life you want, you find a way to make it happen. Documenting all of this is going to be hard, but exciting at the same time. Even if no one is out there, I am here. That feels good to say.
