How to Turn 40

Having taken two days off last week to spend time with visiting family - It's amazing how little time we take to explore our own backyards these days. I've lived in this city for a decade now, and have yet to explore all it has to offer. I'm not even talking about all those things I'd never do (nude bungy jumping for instance), but those things that everyone else travels to your city to do. My company and I spent several days exploring. What a wonderful city I live in! - I had a nice long weekend. I think every weekend should be made up of as many days...I actually had a chance to re-group, have some fun and enjoy myself before coming back to the grind. I really shouldn't complain. I have a good job, a job I enjoy. It's not very exciting, but then, I've come to accept that most of my life will never again be exciting. Excitement is for the young, and if you didn't get your fill when you were young, you've missed your chance. That's just the way it's supposed to be. Of course there are exceptions...Don't point them out to me. I'm reasonably intelligent and can think of them on my own. My point is that at a certain age you really must learn to settle down a little, and accept that those around you will as well.
