So, I don't know what 50 will be like. I know that my sister found out she had cancer at 50, and that sucked. I know that some people sail through 50 like its forty and others. . . don't. So I will just speak to 49 and 364 days of life.
49 and 364 days
On this day
the sun shines
the mountains stand majestic
my dog and I hike 3 miles
in the most beautiful place in the world
Tai Tam Country Park.
I walk 15,750 steps.
On this day
my homeroom sings Happy Birthday,
my students work together in groups to
discern the meaning of Carver's "Cathedral"
and come to know that enlightenment
can come in the smallest gestures
a hand on a hand drawing a cathedral.
On this day
I didn't weigh in because I didn't want to
but I'm pretty sure I'm at 78 kg
which is my biggest weight
and I'm not happy
but I'm also committed to changing the situation
starting Tomorrow!
Well, probably the day after tomorrow.
The Universe is helping me learn something new -
Adam as vegan, Biggest Loser, Master Chef and Primal.
On this day
I have a cold that I've been fighting a few days
I had Meet the Teacher Night until 8:40 PM
and I'm writing this at 9:45 PM
so I would call that a LONG DAY
yet it was a good one too.
On this day
thanks to Eckhart Tolle and Christianity
I know I am both Human and Being
and that the Being Part is the Real part
and the part that matters and lives on.
And I know that life is not the opposite of death
but birth is. Because life has no end.
On this day
I have committed to the "Year of Brenda",
a year in which I reset for the next 50 years
my mind, body, and spirit.
I've chosen the motto "Big risk. Big reward."
On this day
I am me.
