What are you most excited about for the future?

The future scares me as well as excites me. I know that each day that goes by brings me closer to my physical death, which I know could be quick or very long and painful. My health has certainly begun to deteriorate the last few years. I have developed fairly severe tinnutus (constant ringing in my ears). moderate to severe back pain, and plantar fasciitis. For a while I was really starting to get down about all this, but I have noticed in a way it has been a good thing.

I noticed that of late, I am much more of a “YOLO” type of person. I am not as concerned about “my future” as I was when I was younger because I can definitely see that life is finite. I think I have more passion for my hobbies and interests and want to make the most of each day. I want to do as many cool things with my kids as I can, even if I am not feeling well. I want to leave my mark on my students. I want to write about my life and share experiences, connect with others more and not hold anything back.

I also am becoming wiser with age and I think this is an exciting aspect of my future. I spend my work life learning and teaching so my personal growth seems to go up each year. I have a better perspective on things and am generally not as rattled or fearful as I used to be.

I guess if we lived forever, this would not be how we would look at things, so seeing the twilight of life approaching may be a blessing in disguise.
