I’ve been in a mortal mode lately, what with the death of an old friend, and all. So I’ve done some dwelling on it (my OWN mortality, that is), and on life in general. I do dwell occasionally.
But I also like to take action, not just dwell. So I started some long-range planning for my life. A look into the Future. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? That kind of stuff.
(Although I knew people in college –a couple who did that and I used to think they were just about the lamest. I just could even see that far into my own future, couldn’t imagine it. But they could. They actually had a 5-year plan. With steps to be taken each year. At 22 years old, don’t forget.)
But I digress.
Anyway, I was doing my long-range planning (about time, you might say, since I’m 45!), and I did the math, as they say. My oldest son will graduate from high school in 2017. My youngest son will do the same in 2021.
Holy crap. (Pardon my French.)
You want to know how old I’ll be that year? Well, I say, do the math.
Oy, the math. Some of us haven't even started to have kids yet -- at 41...I feel you sister, I feel you, and that is why we need to be eating well and exercising!!!

And living in the moment, eh? 2017 is not NOW. All we have is now, so I need to stop projecting!
