Decade of Awesome
In 2018, before I turned 50, my long time mate Danni talked to me about how the decade of our 50's was the last chance to do some really active things before our body starts limiting us. I took it on board and vowed to make this decade of my 50's the most awesome so far.
I made some lists. I'm ticking things off. The list keeps growing faster than I'll ever be able to finish - but that's a good thing. I'm having fun.
The List (so far) #
Things I'm doing and things I've done. If I write about something on the list it'l be linked in the list below and tagged in this article list here.
