Where Will I Be?

The thought entered my mind early this morning. More like appeared fully formed. Where will I be when I'm 50? What a thought, huh? I still feel 25 so suddenly I doubled in age. Whoa! Commence mind trip...

I will have published at least 6 - 10 books in that time. Both of my children will turn 18 when I'm 45 so by then they'll be 20. Grown children but we plan for them to live near us or with us indefinitely as both are disabled. My husband will be nearing 60 at that point but I'll be just beginning by that point. Our amazing dog Max will have passed on. What new dog will take his place? Likely a Cocker Spaniel. We'll have a new breeding business with them by then. I'll have sold dozens of houses. I'll have gone on countless book tours and speaking events. Will I have gone outside of the US by then? Will we have our custom dream house? I hope so!

Fifty seems so far away now but I know from experience that it'll be here in what seems like a blink. I'll wake up one morning like I did today and suddenly wonder, "Where will I be at 60?" Will I see 70? Or 80? What about 90? 100? What impact will I have on those around me? Will I have made a difference? Did I help everyone I could? Will my words live on beyond me? Did I leave a legacy? Will my kids be okay?

I have already lived my life well. I have few regrets. I know there's things I would do differently but that would create a different life and I'm not sure I'd want that. I know I never thought I'd be here at almost 40. I never knew I would have such peace and contentment. I love my life. I wish I had more money than I do right now, I wish we were comfortable financially. That's probably my main regret because it affects my children. I promised to provide for them and I've failed at that. But this is only temporary.

I look forward to the next decade. I'm sharp and ready to tackle the challenges of the next decade. The future is ahead and it's bright. I just have to stay focused on my goals.
