Trying something new

I've come to realize that at the age of 43, it seems that all the fun and exciting things have already happened in my life. I have no more stories to tell when I'm sitting around with my family and friends. It's all of my doing. Not on purpose mind you. I didn't wake up one day and say, "I think I'll become an single, overweight, middle aged, boring person." Instead it was an insidious process, sneaking up on me as I stopped paying attention to my life. So I've decided to start paying attention. I don't have a complete plan yet, and in a lot of ways I'm still doing a lot of information gathering. I'm really good at that. I can gather information forever. But I need to start taking action. Doing things. Push myself out of my comfort zone. Try new things. So I decided to try this blog. I'm new at this. I don't know if anyone will read it. And that's ok. At least it's taking an action.
